Edge computing has blown up over the last several years as trends like remote work, Internet of Things (IoT), and AR/VR drove the need for connectivity at the edge of the network and brand-new applications. Now, edge deployments can be found nearly everywhere and are addressing a variety of use cases across a number of verticals.
In fact, research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that global enterprise and service provider spending on hardware, software, and services for edge solutions is expected to sustain a strong pace of growth through 2025 when spending will reach nearly $274 billion.
