As enterprises digitally transform and IT environments become more dispersed across multiple public clouds and on-premises data centers, the process of moving data, applications, and workloads to and from various locations quickly becomes regular practice. Moving just one application to and from a location can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, in most cases requiring a week or more. For large environments, the costs can be significant. As a result, organizations must take a more deliberative, evaluative approach to moving data and applications when migrating to the cloud and across clouds.

Reports of the data center's demise have been grossly exaggerated. On-premises data centers are alive and thriving, with the average number of on-premises locations under management expected to increase over the next five years. The future of the data center, however, will look very different from today. Enterprises in the throes of modernizing their application infrastructure and migrating to the cloud are increasingly realizing they also need a cloud-like experience for on-premises data centers and improved public cloud connectivity with consumption-based procurement models.

The need to collect and analyze data generated at edge locations is playing an increasingly important role in enabling organizations to improve quality, deliver enhanced experiences (both customer and employee), and gather deeper insights into the business. To understand how IT organizations are leveraging and optimizing their use of important edge sites, ESG surveyed IT professionals responsible for their organization’s edge computing applications, tools, policies, and procedures.
Organizations are distributing applications across multiple public cloud environments and edge locations. This is driven by the need to collect and analyze the data generated at these remote sites to enable organizations to improve quality, deliver enhanced experiences (both customer and employee), and gather deeper insights into the business. Because the “edge” can be defined in many ways depending on several factors, such as company size and industry, organizations employ a range of strategies and an ecosystem of partners that includes cloud service providers, telecommunication companies, colocation providers, and even traditional technology vendors to ensure robust edge computing environments that deliver critical business insights.
Data is just data unless you understand its relevance. Truly understand technology trends and market dynamics, and swiftly take advantage of arising business opportunities with Enterprise Strategy Group’s actionable data and analysis.
