IDC PeerScape: Peer Insights to Implement Edge Computing
This IDC PeerScape discusses peer insights to implement edge computing."In the digital economy, latency can hamstring a company's ability to compete. Customers won't tolerate it, and employees find it demoralizing. Edge computing architectures can deliver the fast response that businesses require. But there are many different approaches to edge computing and many choices must be made. Flexibility — the ability to grow and change as needs change — is the single most important attribute of a successful edge implementation," says Stanley B. Gibson, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
