Does Infrastructure Edge Provide Competitive Advantage?

About 40 percent of service provider executives surveyed by Heavy Reading believe edge data centers gives them a competitive advantage over cloud players without access or edge network assets.

A significant 27 percent of respondents, however, are not sure that ownership of edge cloud assets provides an advantage.

What is unclear is how that perception could change if leading cloud providers did have such edge computing assets. Also left unexplored is what advantages might exist if third parties emerged as the key providers of edge computing infrastructure. Kinetic Edge is among new firms developing such facilities in 30 U.S. metro areas. Schneider Electric also believes it has an opportunity in edge computing facilities. Others are sure to emerge.
