Edge computing has value in part because some use cases require ultra-low latency or predictable response times. Edge computing might also make sense because and in part some use cases do not require lots of remote computing, only bulk storage.
In other cases, most of the data generated by sensors locally offers no analytical insight, so does not produce value when transported across WANs for real-time processing. That should eventually begin to affect the amount of data processed locally versus remotely, with the exception of archival storage, which might disproportionately move to remote locations.
In the past, some organizations hesitated to put certain types of data in public clouds, representing a form of edge storage
The 2021 Flexera survey continues to show an evolution of end user thinking on that score. More than half of respondents said they’ll consider moving at least some of their sensitive consumer data or corporate financial data to the cloud.
Some 23 percent of respondents report that internet of things or other edge data will remain on the premises or mostly so. About 31 percent say data storage will be a mix of premises and remote, while 46 percent say data storage will be mostly or all in the remote cloud.
