By processing data closer to its source, edge computing offers unprecedented efficiency gains and has already seen rapid growth and widespread adoption. However, much of its potential hinges on advancements in efficiency, with industry leaders like ScaleFlux playing a key role in shaping the future of this technology. ScaleFlux’s innovative computational storage solutions have had a traceable impact on revolutionizing edge computing, underscoring the value of storage considerations when organizations choose to pivot to the edge.
MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As businesses worldwide increasingly digitize every aspect of their operations, the amount of data being generated, processed, and consumed is projected to hit an unprecedented 180 billion terabytes by 2025. (1) This massive influx of data threatens to overwhelm both on-premises and cloud systems, resulting in network congestion, soaring energy costs, and expensive infrastructure upgrades. Edge computing has quickly emerged as a response to this data deluge. “As more data is generated, relying solely on centralized computing can create delays and inefficiencies. Edge computing addresses this by distributing processing closer to where data is generated, which helps in managing the load and ensuring quicker responses,” explains JB Baker, VP at ScaleFlux.
Such is the pace of adaption that 75% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed at the edge by 2025. (2) A recent forecast shows that global spending on edge computing is expected to reach $232 billion by the end of the year — an increase of 15% over 2023. (3) But even as companies start to heavily invest in edge computing processing capabilities, they must not lose sight of the critical role that storage plays in this approach.
