*NEW RESEARCH* Super Scale Cloud Service Providers and Edge Computing

Edge computing remains at a very early stage of its maturity, and the next five years is likely to see considerable disruption to existing cloud and network service provider business models as various different suppliers work out their own approach to meet growing demand for associated infrastructure and services.

TechMarketView thinks that edge genuinely threatens to undermine a key advantage that super scale cloud service providers (CSPs) - in this instance Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, IBM and Microsoft - have so far enjoyed in the cloud hosting and analytics market. By decentralising storage and processing capacity to locations closer to data and customers, it gives hundreds if not thousands of tier two cloud service providers, telcos, systems integrators and other suppliers a cheaper, simpler way to crash the party which is faster to deploy and offers a performance advantage for certain types of application, particularly in Internet of Things (IoT) environments.

Our latest report - Super Scale Cloud Service Providers and Edge Computing - outlines emerging frameworks and use cases for edge computing and analyses the extent to which Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, IBM and Microsoft are absorbing the approach into their own commercial strategies to meet that potential competitive threat head on.
