As more devices generate more data from more locations, computing is facing a speed-versus-scale challenge. The
public cloud remains unrivaled in its compute and storage resources, but getting data there and back takes time, and
ultimately is limited by the speed of light and the size of internet “pipes.” In cases where big data will be used to drive
real-time decision-making, we see an opportunity for “edge computing” to become a key enabler and extension of
the public cloud by putting compute and storage resources closer to the device or source of data generation. Edge
computing could unlock a $40bn incremental market ($100bn in the bull scenario), including a range of new
applications that can better direct operations—from “when to brake” for a self-driving truck to “when to change
course” for an oil drill working miles underground. We see providers of a cohesive public cloud and edge solution as
best positioned and highlight Microsoft in particular, in addition to Amazon, Pivotal, and VMware.
How edge computing will augment the cloud & unlock real-time, big data applications
