This IDC Market Perspective presents the framework by which IDC describes and forecasts the worldwide and European edge IT markets. The present document is designed to establish a common understanding of the concepts of edge, core, and endpoints as they relate to IT service locations. As new technologies and services enter the market, a common understanding of the edge market scope and definitions is important for both IT buyers and IT providers. For IT buyers, understanding the market segments is helpful in developing effective core and edge IT strategies. For IT providers, having a common framework and language is essential in understanding and connecting with IT buyers and participating in the broad distributed IT ecosystem."Edge has become, year by year, an essential part of companies' broader IT ecosystems. As such, it needs focused and renewed attention by IT leaders to cope with what business is demanding of it," said Luis Fernandes, senior research manager, European Edge Strategies.
