Securing Edge Of The Transformation Journey
As organizations prepare for the future, demand for edge computing is growing. Enterprises must overcome significant hurdles to realize the potential of edge computing.
Digital transformation is a growing trend among companies, often driven by the innovations enabled by edge computing. Businesses are becoming more aware of the limitations of cloud computing and legacy systems, and looking for edge devices to access data, streamline operations and run complex workloads in an agile, fast, and resilient manner.
This is the story that the data supports. Recent estimates predict that there will be 27 million connected IoT devices in 2025 ( IoT analytics 2022). Strong demand is driven by strong demand from certain sectors such as retail, telco and manufacturing, where advanced automation and optimized supply chains have had a significant impact. Industry 4.0 is not a trendy term; it’s happening now.
However, there is still much to be done.
