With so much data to be mined and monetized, more companies are recognizing the competitive advantages of edge computing, which can also jump-start the journey to becoming an autonomous digital enterprise.

Distributed models such as edge computing have always been attractive because of their ability to minimize network latency issues with large data and put essential functions closer to the technology consumer.

It’s no surprise, then, that 54% of the IT leaders surveyed said they prefer edge to the cloud for operators who need to control and analyze data for local use cases, and to avoid the latency that can occur when sending edge data to public cloud-based apps.

Innovative, data-driven companies that want to stay on the cutting edge and are planning an edge migration should develop a plan and long-term vision for their mix of data center, cloud and edge resources that consider their current and future use cases.
