To counter current economic pressures such as inflation, scarce talent, and supply constraints, 80% of companies are increasing investments in digital technology, according to a report by Gartner. Driving these initiatives are IT leaders, who – depending on the industry they work in – are increasingly doing so in operational environments like factories, production sites, and even in remote locations. For IT leaders whose companies need to reliably access data, protect and manage applications, and deploy future software-based solutions, especially in these operational environments, edge computing has become the de-facto computing paradigm. According to Espalier.ai research, adoption of edge computing is projected to increase up to 46% through 2026, potentially transforming it into a $13.6 billion market.
