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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of many leading technologies, and not only for those with direct connection to mitigating the virus. Long an amorphous buzzword, digital transformation has taken shape recently, with many industry luminaries noting that projects expected to take years have suddenly been implemented in months.
Although not every advanced technology initiative is accelerating, the ones that drive business value are. Work is never returning to the way it once was, and businesses that have embraced new technologies are adapting faster to this new environment. As part of this adaptation, a significant number of companies have said their employees will continue to have the option of working remotely even after the pandemic subsides.
