Accenture: “Now is the time for every enterprise to adopt edge”

A new report from Accenture has argued that businesses need to act now to avoid falling behind with edge computing – yet integration with cloud, data and AI will be ‘essential’ to accelerate innovation affordably.

The study, titled ‘Leading With Edge Computing: How To Reinvent With Data And AI’, polled 2,100 C-suite executives globally and found more than four in five (83%) see edge as ‘essential’ to remaining competitive in the future. A similar number (81%) agreed...

SMEs combat rising cost of cloud services

Braced for a 10% increase in cloud costs this year, a report shows that 33% of SMEs plan to reduce the amount of data they store in the cloud and 24% to reduce the number of cloud services they use.

Almost two-thirds (62%) of UK small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) that use cloud computing will take steps to combat the rising of these services by the end of 2023, according to a report by Beaming.

The Making the cloud work for UK businesses report, which draws on a...

Edge AI will soon be here – but not with the boom that many expect

The wait is almost over for the promise of artificial intelligence at the edge to become a reality – but a new market research report has warned that predicted growth would be ‘anything but steady.’

Market research firm IDTechEx, in its recent report, ‘AI Chips for Edge Applications 2024-2034: Artificial Intelligence at the Edge’, has predicted that the global market opportunity for AI at the edge will touch $22 billion USD (£17.4bn) by 2034.

The company cites...

Edge computing market to be worth $111.3 billion by 2028

IoT and connected device adoption will increase, 5G networks will be integrated, edge AI and machine learning will grow, and a continuum from edge to cloud will be created.

The trajectory of edge computing will also be influenced by applications that are industry-specific, improved security and privacy safeguards, and a cooperative edge computing ecosystem.

The Edge Computing Market size is expected to grow from USD 53.6 billion in 2023 to USD...

Enterprises trust edge for business challenges – but will infrastructure keep up?

A majority of organisations are investing in edge computing to solve critical business challenges – yet two in five respondents to an NTT survey are concerned that infrastructure won’t be able to keep up with the promise.

The findings appear in NTT’s Edge Advantage Report, which surveyed 600 enterprises around their motivations for adopting edge technologies, as well as the environments in which they operate.

More than 80% of respondents said they expected their...

Edge computing and Kubernetes: Understanding the landscape

Edge computing differs from cloud computing in that information is processed nearer to the source of data. Yet the need for greater speed and efficiency in maximising resources as ever-increasing amounts of data get utilised are a common source of pain in both technologies.

It's not just the data, either. In edge use cases, which range from a security video camera to a remote oil rig, conditions may not always be optimal. As a result, the complexity needs to be managed....

Demystifying the buzzwords: SASE and SSE markets set for solid growth in 2023

SASE, SSE, or something else? The backstory for each of these buzzwords is as complex as the technology itself. The simple version is that, as enterprises need to modernise their network and security architecture with the demands of a remote workforce, the secure access service edge (SASE) and secure service edge (SSE) markets will see solid growth through 2023.

That is the verdict from telecom analyst Dell’Oro Group and security vendor Axis respectively. Dell’Oro believes...

BrainChip calls for application-based benchmarks in edge AI

Neuromorphic AI chip developer BrainChip believes better metrics are needed to iron out the limitations of current industry-standard performance benchmarks in edge AI.

The company’s findings, part of a new whitepaper, suggest that metrics need to be continually refined upon to measure performance and efficiency in real-world edge deployments.

BrainChip also posits that its neuromorphic processors help to increase performance at low-power while reducing latency. It sees...
