Data Center

Data centers continue to serve as the engines behind today's most successful businesses, continually tuned to deliver optimum workload performance and competitive advantage in the wake of big data. The server sprawl of the last decade is slowing as IT and line-of-business decision makers shift technology to support specific workloads, rather than deploying equipment en masse. This workload focus, as well as the business-driven requirement to make every IT dollar count, spurred a move toward converged infrastructure.

Technology Business Research's data center portfolio examines the intricacies of the data center ecosystem and delivers insight on hardware vendors, partners, product strategies and go-to-market trends. TBR's analysis reveals trends impacting the industry and uses proprietary metrics to size markets, and maneuvers clients into advantageous positions. TBR's Data Center research includes server, storage, networking and microprocessor vendors, and channel and technology partners.

Enterprise Edge Compute Market Landscape

Edge computing has become a major area of interest and investment at the enterprise level, driving a need for real-time insights, analytics and business benefits that can be enabled once mission-critical latency concerns are addressed. The enterprise edge is not a single packaged technology, but rather an emerging set of solutions that, when orchestrated together, can enable a spectrum of benefits driven by use cases that are contingent on industry, maturity and technology. TBR’s stance is cloud and edge are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary technologies that will work together for most use cases. Centralized cloud computing will continue to persist, though edge computing will create new ways in which data is leveraged at the enterprise level in the cloud and on devices.

TBR’s Enterprise Edge Compute Market Landscape, which is global in scope, details edge compute trends among both vendors and their customers. Vendor coverage includes: Amazon Web Services, Atos, Cisco, Dell Technologies, Digital Realty, Equinix, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Huawei, IBM, Lenovo and Microsoft. This research includes current-year market sizing and a five-year forecast.
