Future of compute will be big, small, smart and way out on the edge
SHARE
Predicting the future of compute is a little like forecasting an afternoon of high winds and rain on a calm, cloudless morning. It may not seem obvious, but change is coming. It always does.
What change will look like for the computing world depends on how the strategies being put in place now by major cloud providers and an expanding ecosystem of technology firms become more widely adopted by enterprises at scale.
Compute companies are thinking big in terms of expanding the capabilities of the cloud, but that will also mean putting more processing power into smaller devices, mass application of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and deploying workable, efficient solutions at the edge.
