Around the world, the IT landscape is rapidly coalescing towards a hybrid model that is supported by edge deployments located in geographically distributed regions. The factors driving this development are varied, though the rise of latency-sensitive applications, surging IoT deployments, and lowering tolerance of delays by users inured with the instant accessibility of mobile apps all play a part.<\/p>\n

Challenges of Edge Systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Globally, the edge computing market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 34.1% in 2020 to reach US$15.7 billion by 2025, according to a report<\/a> on MarketsandMarkets. And as enterprises are increasingly finding out, managing systems across multiple locations can get complicated quickly.<\/p>\n

For mid-sized to larger organisations, administrators might have to tab through multiple screens or swivel their chairs between monitors to keep track of everything. They might even have to create their own system to properly track the disparate systems. Unsurprisingly, many organizations lack the capacity to manage these systems and turn to IT solution providers to maintain the sites for them.<\/p>\n

APC by Schneider Electric is on a mission to help facilitate seamless edge operations with these considerations in mind, says Steven Brown of Schneider Electric. This is done by establishing a cloud-based management platform designed for managing distributed IT through the Schneider Electric EcoStruxture IT platform, and continuously improving it with new capabilities.<\/p>\n
