innovation in the data centre space and
we are seeing a strong increase in the
number of clients coming to us for help
with the development of their Edge
strategy and rollouts.
In our view, the recent trend of migrating
computing power and workload from
in-house, on-site data centres, to remote
cloud-based servers and services will
reverse a little.
The next evolution, led by the need to
make more and more decisions with little
or no discernible delay, will see a move
towards computing power being closer to

the source of the user and the data that
needs to be processed.
More and more connected devices
relying on the Edge means more and
more data centres, probably smaller
than the typical cloud data centre
but no less important. With future
trade, manufacturing, autonomous
vehicles, city traffic systems and many
other valuable applications relying
on Edge Computing, the security and
maintenance of these systems will be
paramount. However, there is no doubt
that Edge Computing forms part of the
future data centre landscape. ◊
Edge Computing will be able to handle more than a traditional
network with many more transactions per second over many
more locations and architectures.
