Why Edge Computing is the Next Big Thing?

Some of companies opting for Edge Computing.

Formerly a new technology trend to watch, cloud computing has become mainstream, with major players Amazon Web Services, Microsoft azure and Google Cloud Platform dominating the market. The adoption of cloud computing is still growing, as more and more businesses migrate to a cloud solution. But it’s no longer the emerging technology trend. Edge is.

As the quantity of data organizations are dealing with continues to increase, they have realized the shortcomings of cloud computing in some situations. Edge Computing is designed to help solve some of those problems as a way to bypass the latency caused by cloud computing and getting data to a datacenter for processing. It can exist “on the edge,” if you will, closer to where computing needs to happen. For this reason, edge computing can be used to process time-sensitive data in remote locations with limited or no connectivity to a centralized location. In those situations, edge computing can act like mini datacenters. 

Edge computing will increase as use of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. By 2022, the global edge computing market is expected to reach $7 billion. And this new technology trend is only meant to grow and nothing less, creating various jobs, primarily for software engineers.

Keeping in line with cloud computing (including new-age edge and quantum computing) will help you grab amazing jobs like:

  • Cloud Reliability Engineer
  • Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
  • Cloud Architect and Security Architect
  • DevOps Cloud Engineer
