Edge computing addresses these issues by moving data and compute closer to the clients that use it, making applications faster and more resilient by eliminating dependencies on distant cloud data centers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our recent Connect ONLINE developer conference, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF005347\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dave McCarthy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Research VP of Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services at IDC, gave a fascinating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.cvent.com\/hub\/events\/1dce8283-986d-4de9-8368-94c98f60df01\/sessions\/e522deb1-ae19-4f68-a8c8-06dea5b45e08\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keynote presentation on edge computing for ultra-low latency applications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In the discussion Dave focused on the edge computing landscape, as well as IDC research findings on edge adoption. He also touched on the impressive results from recent Couchbase latency tests with Edge Services from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verizon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edge Initiatives<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dave started off by pointing out that IDC has been covering edge computing in depth for the last several years, gathering real data from enterprises on how they approach edge as a strategy for their business. He also made the point that many organizations are beyond planning to pursue edge computing, they are already doing it &#8211; for a variety of reasons. In an IDC survey on the topic, 73% of respondents said they view the edge as a strategic investment, and another 17% said that edge is required by business operations. The survey also found that two thirds of respondents were already in production with edge computing in some capacity, and 40% of organizations plan to invest in new edge solutions within the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary motivations for edge computing initiatives coalesce around themes of speed, availability and governance. They include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prohibitive costs of bandwidth with a centralized infrastructure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security and data protection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deterministic latency and distance limitations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance with sovereign entities and industry regulations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuous operation if network access is interrupted<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud to Edge Locations<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The discussion then turned to the spectrum of computing models, which correspond to data processing locations, from the cloud to the edge. These locations include the core public cloud, \u201cMEC\u201d (Multi-access Edge Computing) on telco providers networks, regional edge data centers in major metro areas, on-premise data centers and finally on-device data processing. Viewing this spectrum through a lens of latency, the core public cloud is the highest, with decreasing latency through the edge location models to \u201con-device\u201d data processing, which guarantees the lowest possible latency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On where compute and storage resources should physically reside, Dave made the point that it\u2019s not about cloud <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OR<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> edge, the architecture is actually a continuum that ideally distributes compute and storage <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACROSS<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the entire ecosystem, processing data where it best serves the application. Further, IDC found that there is no \u201cone\u201d prevailing edge model today, organizations choose the model that best suits their use case and requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On that point, and to help customers quickly adopt edge computing, cloud service providers like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azure<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are bringing new edge services to market that map directly to the cloud-to-edge spectrum, to meet nearly any requirement. The new services are making edge computing more accessible and repeatable, and providing more options and choices for customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Couchbase on AWS Edge Services<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The presentation next focused on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/edge\/services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS Edge Services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and specifically on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/wavelength\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS Wavelength<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which provides low latency by placing the data center directly into a 5G network, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/about-aws\/global-infrastructure\/localzones\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS Local Zones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which provides low latency by placing the data center in major metropolitan cities to serve users in those areas. Dave pointed out that in the US, AWS Wavelength is offered primarily via partnership with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/business\/solutions\/5g\/edge-computing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verizon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and as such IDC sees a lot of edge synergy between the two vendors. He also said that he focused on these two AWS services mainly because of compelling findings from Couchbase, who conducted latency tests that ultimately proved these services claims of low latency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tests compared response times when accessing a Couchbase powered app deployed in a standard AWS Region vs in AWS Wavelength and AWS Local Zones respectively. Specifically, the tests measured latency for a client running in Los Angeles accessing data in an LA-based data center, and then accessing data in a distant cloud data center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results were impressive, measuring low double-digits to single-digit millisecond response times between the edge zones and the client. The tests showed up to an 82% reduction in latency on Wavelength and a 78% reduction in latency on Local Zones over standard AWS Regions, making it clear that these services do deliver on their promises of ultra-low latency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential Guidance<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dave closed his presentation on three essential points to consider when pursuing edge computing initiatives:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of edge as a compliment to the cloud. Distributed applications can provide \u201cbest of both worlds\u201d benefits and unlock new use cases.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embrace the fact that no one edge solution will meet all needs. In some cases, a multi-tiered approach is best.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand that performance, latency and costs are central to making decisions on edge architectures<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He wrapped up by saying how excited he was about the work that Couchbase is doing in edge computing with cloud services providers, which will unlock next generation use cases and innovations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IDC Market Perspective &#8211;
