AHEAD Helps Prepare for Future Innovation with Edge  

Read the complimentary Gartner® report for more insights into how edge deployments are becoming a prerequisite for emerging technologies like AI. 

Edge computing is not new, but it is finding new life in an era of emerging technologies. According to Gartner, “technical innovation has drastically lowered the cost to develop and deploy edge systems to collect and analyze data by IT and non-IT assets.”1 

These cost reductions and recent improvements in edge infrastructure have set the stage for a newfound interest in edge adoption, particularly for use cases such as artificial intelligence. In fact, per Gartner, “by 2026, at least 50% of edge computing deployments will involve machine learning (ML), compared with 5% in 2022”1 

But despite growing interest and adoption, only 32% of Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey respondents expect to deploy edge during the next 3 years. 

If edge deployments are a growing prerequisite for emerging technologies like ML and AI, then what are the prerequisites for effective edge deployment? 

Read this complimentary Gartner report for more insights into how we believe: 

  • Various industries, such as retail, are capitalizing on edge 
  • Organizations are using DevOps and platform engineering to actualize edge deployments 
  • Containers and cloud-native development practices enable revenue-generating edge workloads 
  • And much more
