Edge computing investments: who’s doing what and why?

With all the hype, it’s difficult to determine how important edge is right now. There are still many open questions with regards to investments at the edge:

  • How much is being invested relative to other technologies? How might this change?
  • Which edge is most important now and in future: regional data centres, network edge, on-prem edge? How does this vary by use case and industry?
  • Where are edge investments being made across the value chain? Datacentres/facilities, hardware, software platforms or applications and services?
  • What are the risks and rewards to consider when evaluating edge investments?

We co-hosted this webinar with our partners at BroadGroup.
