Edge Computing Set To Dominate Data Processing By 2030
RTInsights, Monday, January 6th, 2025
Edge computing is poised to surpass centralized data centers as the primary data processing hub, fueled by AI demands and a surge in localized content needs.
Edge computing is rapidly emerging as the cornerstone of global data processing, with ReThink Technology Research projecting that 74% of the world's data will be processed outside traditional data centers by the early 2030s. This shift is driven by the growing demand for AI-powered low-latency applications and the need for localized content, creating substantial opportunities for telecommunications operators and data center providers. By 2031, more than half of this data will be processed directly at the edge, transforming how data is managed and monetized.
