Edge computing platform (ECP) delivers software infrastructure and/or services to support edge applications and data processing, centralized management and orchestration of the edge software stack at many remote sites, and edge, cloud and endpoint connectivity and integration. The ECP market provides a foundation, management and orchestration, and cloud integration for widely distributed edge computing nodes where a large number of locations and zero-touch management are required. Edge computing locations are at or near the physical edge (e.g., plant floors, retail stores, vehicles, 5G mobile edge compute [MEC], micro data centers, etc.). The ECP supports edge workloads, which demand low latency, local data processing and/or disconnected state. This includes local applications, data filtering, streaming data analysis, closed-loop automation and AI/machine learning (ML). Containers are the most common edge-native application architecture, with variants of Kubernetes clustering. However, virtual machines are also used to support traditional or existing operational technology (OT) workloads. The ECP can be software and/or services. It doesn’t include hardware — although the software infrastructure of some ECPs can be integrated (as appliances) in hardware, or limited to specialty hardware.
