An edge data center is a small data center located at a network's edge. Edge data centers provide the same functionality as traditional data centers, albeit in a smaller footprint, closer to company devices and users. Edge data centers can deliver cached content and cloud computing resources to these devices. Typically featuring a smaller footprint, edge data centers are designed to process time-sensitive data faster while sending less critical information to a larger, centralized data center intended for big data analytics.
The growth of this market is attributed to the rising need for edge data centers for industrial IoT applications, the growing demand for low-latency processing and real-time automated decision-making solutions, and the increasing utilization of edge data centers in online video streaming.
The high upfront capital expenditure required to implement edge data centers restrains the growth of this market. The emergence of autonomous vehicles and the commercialization of 4G technology are expected to generate growth opportunities for the players in this market. However, data privacy and security concerns are a major challenge for market growth.
The rising adoption of IoT devices across industries and the growth in 5G networks are prominent trends in the edge data centers market.
