State of The Edge 2021 – Edge Computing Ecosystem Market Update
The Linux Foundation’s State of the Edge report has set the standard for open-source research and collaboration on the edge computing ecosystem. It’s a vendor-neutral platform for open research on edge computing that is dedicated to accelerating innovation by crowdsourcing a shared vocabulary for Edge.
The 2021 State of the Edge report explores today’s edge computing ecosystem with a focus on the increasingly interconnected domains of critical infrastructure, networks, software, and hardware. In line with previous reports, the insights are provided by independent experts with the goal of educating and advancing the field. The report also builds upon previous editions with updated market sizing data, as well as thoughts from industry leaders.
We’re honored to host Matt Trifiro (CMO, Vapor IO and State of the Edge Report Co-Chair), Jacob Smith (VP Strategy & Marketing, Equinix and State of the Edge Report Co-Chair), and Molly Wojcik (Director of Education and Awareness, Section and Chair of State of The Edge Landscape Working Group). Matt, Jacob, and Molly will be sharing the results of the 2021 State of the Edge report.
