In our latest post , we’re spotlighting predictions for edge computing in 2024. Through consulting with industry experts, seasoned customers, and our valued partners, we’re sharing insights into 4 emerging trends we expect to see this year and our perspective on what might shape the edge computing, hyperconverged infrastructure, and virtualization market in the year ahead.
While LLMs Dominate the Spotlight, Computer Vision Will Reinvent Retail and Other Industries
Our first and foremost prediction for 2024 is that although Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are at the center of attention right now, we believe that computer vision will be one of the most consequential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in 2024 and beyond.
AI Supercharges The Intelligent Edge
Edge computing is all about bringing computing power closer to the source of data, whether it’s being generated by industrial equipment, IoT devices, or sensors scattered across a factory floor.
AI will be instrumental in enhancing edge computing systems by enabling them to autonomously process and act upon the data they collect without needing to be in constant communication with a central server.
Integrating Legacy and Cloud-Native Application Design with the Convergence of VMs & Containers
As enterprises seek to streamline their development and deployment processes, the ability to run legacy virtual machine workloads alongside containerized workloads is emerging as a key competitive advantage for today’s enterprise. The adoption of such an integrated approach will likely only accelerate as organizations recognize the benefits of a unified system.
Kubernetes at the Edge Goes Mainstream
A powerful orchestration tool for containerized applications, Kubernetes (K8S) has quickly become an essential component in modern IT infrastructure, streamlining the deployment, scaling, and management of applications. We expect that K8S at the edge will become the norm, not the exception, in 2024 as enterprises look to improve their real-time decision-making capabilities.
