As is the case for most enterprise use cases and applications, though many participants in the ecosystem will have roles and market share, system integrators and information technology suppliers might gain about half the revenue generated by edge computing, according to Vertiv.
But infrastructure suppliers and application providers also will have key roles and gain market share, Vertiv estimates.
Edge computing infrastructure will not act as a substitute for cloud, says Vertiv, while noting that the number of edge sites will grow by 226 percent from 2019 to 2025.
The most developed edge computing deployments will support cloud gaming, video analytics and stock trading, says Vertiv. Use cases such as autonomous cars are still mainly at an exploration or proof of concept stage.
The United States is leading the way with edge initiatives and is estimated to be the largest market for edge computing, Vertiv says.
As you might expect, regional edge facilities will most often function as content repositories. “On the device” edge will be key for augmented reality, virtual reality, industrial sensing and connected health use cases.
“On the premises” edge and “close to the premises” edge will have the most value for language processing, real-time inventory and traffic management use cases, Vertiv believes.
