Is the future of IoT at the Edge in 2020?

Whether we realize it or not, we now live in the Internet of Things (IoT) world, where everything from our devices, home, vehicles and us, the humans are connected. While many of today’s connected devices take advantage of cloud computing today, market research firm Statista, predicts over 30 billion IoT devices to be deployed globally by 2020, making it impossible to store the amount of data in pure cloud environment. In fact, the current computing power in the cloud isn’t fast enough to optimize performance in real-time. Hence, organizations will move processing from the cloud, closer to the end-device or the ‘edge’, believe experts, making Edge Computing ever more important for the ‘connected’ enterprise.
