Even as we speak a quiet business revolution is unfolding that is being driven by colocation provider solutions and the reality of edge computing. The move to edge computing will work in concert with the coming 5G networks and the colocation data center to enable dynamic content, such as that from IoT devices, mobile data, over-the-top (OTT) video, streaming media and more.
This revolution is unfolding today and tomorrow as edge computing takes hold within tier 1, 2 and 3 cities across the globe. According to a 2017 SDxCentral edge computing survey, 40 percent of respondents expect to see mainstream adoption of edge computing and multi-access edge computing (MEC) in the next two to four years or sooner. But what are the business benefits of edge computing?
The goal of edge computing is to shorten the physical distance between sensors, data analytics applications and the end-users of the processed data to improve the experience for end users and customers. Edge facilities make greater bandwidth and lower latency beyond first tier cities possible while improving disaster recovery and security.
SMBs in the digital age operate globally, so these benefits are more vital than ever. SMBs that partner with a colocation provider that has connectivity to edge data centers also benefit from the support of a skilled services team to ensure the right technology and pathway setups.
Leading colocation data center providers like Telehouse will play a big part in edge computing and 5G’s ability to enable heavy bi-directional traffic for connected devices and systems for SMBS and startups via broad colocation and provider connectivity for edge computing to second- and third-tier cities.
