Around 10 percent of enterprise-generated data is created and processed outside a traditional centralized data center or cloud, according to Gartner. By 2025, Gartner predicts this figure will reach 75 percent, says Santhosh Rao, Gartner senior research director.
As the volume and velocity of data increases, so too does the inefficiency of streaming all this information to a cloud or data center for processing.”
That is the reason many are convinced edge computing will be important: possibly 75 percent of computing shifts to venues outside private data centers and hyperscale data centers, eventually.
Some processing will continue to be done by devices. Other processing will happen locally, inside a building, at what some call a gateway. “Edge servers can form clusters or micro data centers where more computing power is needed locally,” says Rao.
“Servers deployed in 5G cellular base stations will host applications and cache content for local subscribers, without having to send traffic through a congested backbone network,” says Rao.
