The report highlights the importance of leveraging valuable and extensive data through the intelligent edge. According to an Insight commissioned survey, 51% of respondents consider optimizing data and analytics capabilities, such as AI, machine learning, and IoT, as their top IT priority for 2023. The intelligent edge allows for near-instant, automated results by analyzing data close to the point of origin, such as factory floors, solar farms, retail stores, and train stations. The benefits of the intelligent edge include improving operational efficiency, reducing latency, creating a real-time view of day-to-day operations, optimizing operational costs, and unlocking valuable data. By 2025, it is estimated that there will be 55.7 billion IoT devices generating almost 80 billion ZB of data. The intelligent edge offers unique benefits to organizations across industries and use cases.
