Distributed & Edge Computing Coverage

The emergence of new technologies, including 5G, artificial intelligence, heterogeneous computing, open and virtualized networks, containers, edge computing, private networks are disrupting the centralized computing model and leading to new computing paradigms based on distributed intelligence across the entire infrastructure.
Our Distributed & Edge Computing service focuses on the distribution of processing payloads between the public, private, edge, and on-premises domains, while assessing different stakeholder strategies and commercial opportunities across the entire supply chain. Hyperscalers, systems integrators, telco operators, and new entrants are all attempting to bridge these domains to provide seamless transitions between them. These hyper-converged systems will enable the next wave of applications and use cases.
Primary topics include the distributed computing ecosystem, market dynamics and key players, competitive analysis of key stakeholders. Topics also include various levels of workload orchestration from domain-specific orchestration (e.g., connectivity service orchestration, operation data orchestration, application orchestration) to end to end orchestration across domains.


Coverage areas include:
  • Quantitative analysis of distributed and edge computing space with deep segmentation of edge servers
  • Network process workloads and enabling technologies across different nodes of the network
  • Distributed edge computing, enabling new business models, including utility computing, computing on demand, Computing-as-a-Service, etc.
  • Orchestration solutions for hyperscalers, telco operators, new entrants, and systems integrators
  • Edge and distributed computing deployment trends across hyperscalers and telco operators
  • Competitive analysis of key stakeholders, including hyperscalers, Information Technology (IT) vendors, and telco operators
  • Distributed Computing in Private Networks: Enabling IT/Operational Technology (OT)/Customer Technology (CT) convergence, distribution, and portability of processing payloads across different domains
  • Distribution of intelligence across different cloud and edge domains
  • Distributed Computing Value Chain: Competitive analysis and key spheres of influence
