Support for artificial intelligence processes is among the biggest benefits organizations seek from edge computing. Reducing latency is the other key expected benefit, according to Forrester Research. In 2018, the stated value was more support for internet of things apps.
Edge computing was on the 2018 agenda, seems to be on the 2019 agenda and undoubtedly will also be on the 2020 agenda. “Fifty seven percent of mobility decision makers surveyed in the Forrester Analytics Global Business Technographics® Mobility Survey, 2019, said they have edge computing on their roadmap for the next 12 months,” Forrester Research says.
Keeping in mind that the market is quite young, Forrester Research predicts that the edge cloud services market will grow by at least 50 percent in 2020. The main effort will be to supply basic infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and advanced cloud-native programming services on distributed edge computing infrastructure, according to Forrester.
The goal is to enable IaaS and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) services that run independently of or with only intermittent connectivity to public cloud and data center assets. That implies substantial “compute at the edge” capabilities, as apps will have to be architected to run locally, with periodic remote data center support.
