Edge computing--at the moment--might be more a developing feature of cloud computing than a sizable discrete market, a survey of 300 North American information technology professionals indicates.
Some 39 percent of survey respondents say they have “no plans” to use edge data centers. On the other hand, IT professionals are more likely to do so than are interested in satellite broadband, containers, Kubernetes, AIOps, IPv6 or network as a service.

One way of looking at interest is that stand-alone “edge computing” services have not yet made much impact on enterprise spending. That does not mean edge computing will not be used more often in a decade.
But such use cases might more often be a feature of a computing as a service purchase than an identifiable category of spending.
