Insights from TBR’s inaugural Enterprise Edge Compute Market Landscape

The edge computing market spans a spectrum of use cases that meet various customer needs, including sensitivity for latency and analytics. According to TBR’s 1Q20 Enterprise Edge Compute Market Landscape, while the edge is not new, its use for low-latency-dependent applications and close-to-the-data computing has increased and will continue to do so to support connected devices, emerging workloads such as IoT, and faster time-to-insight. For example, in-store robots can interact with customers to create a customized shopping experience on the floor and use data around purchases to help restock inventory.

TBR predicts a rapid increase in enterprise edge spend through 2024. The dynamics within the webscale space  include a desire by managed service providers to run their offerings on bare metal hardware and ODMs with the ability to provide this bare metal hardware at lower price points than OEM peers. These dynamics will be a key driver behind the upswing in enterprise edge revenue through 2024 as webscales capture opportunities typically fulfilled by OEMs.
