In this 45 mins webinar Red Hat, Intel and IDC will discuss the latest trends in European Edge adoption, including:
- The business benefits of investing in Edge use cases
- How Edge solutions are being built and deployed
- How optimized Edge hardware can multiply the benefits of software investment
- The many benefits of automation
- Why automation still sees slow adoption
- How to enable and scale automation at the Edge
Across Europe, companies are investing in a diverse range of Edge solutions to drive business innovation and growth across key use cases such as business process automation, manufacturing optimization, customer experience, healthcare, proactive maintenance and enhanced security.
In 2021, European companies spent almost a fifth of their IT infrastructure budget on Edge solutions and IDC predicts that this will grow to $40 billion by the end of 2022. Edge solutions are highly distributed, in many instances covering infrastructure across hundreds if not thousands of sites, and across Core to Edge to Cloud. With this tremendous growth comes the challenge of ensuring that the benefits of Edge are not wiped out by the effort required to deploy, manage, operate, and secure it.
What's needed is a comprehensive approach to container and cloud centric automation – but IDC research shows that only a quarter of companies in Europe have adopted automation extensively.
