New figures from IDC have predicted a potentially colossal growth in edge computing spend over the coming years in light of increasing AI adoption. Edge computing is quickly emerging as an important element in an evolving technological landscape, and the integration of AI applications into edge infrastructure is said to be the primary driver behind the projected growth. IDC’s projections suggest that edge computing spending could reach $350 billion by 2027, surpassing earlier estimates.

The new generation of smart building technologies can serve as Fitbits for buildings.
While advancing technologies are enhancing and easing our way of living in almost every industry, one of the transitions is gaining traction in real estate, namely smart estate management. Per a MarketsandMarkets report, in 2021, the global smart building market valuation reached $72.6 billion and is likely to grow at a CAGR of around 10.9% and go beyond $121.6 billion by 2026. The elevation in these figures depends on various factors, like increasing energy consumption and costs and innovation in technologies like IoT and PoE.

A July 2023 report by Statista predicts the number of connected devices will escalate to 17.08 billion in 2024, from 15.14 billion in 2023. This digital expansion is set to generate a colossal volume of data, with a forecasted 157 zettabytes in 2024. According to an IDC report, 20% of this data will be created at the edge – a statistic that underscores the growing significance of edge computing.
With large language models that power systems like ChatGPT increasing in popularity – the AI text-generating website saw 1.6 billion monthly visits in July 2023 – the strain is on data centers to keep up with demand.
Data centers, a.k.a. the “brains” of the internet that live in large warehouses with rows of servers, essentially relay all our data and compute our every request. Now, AI is turbocharging that data usage, and data centers are expanding to meet the demand.
As new technologies place increased demand on data centers, companies are experimenting with a new generation of superfast fiber-optic networks. Higher security, faster speeds, and more capacity are all going to be key targets for the data center industry as it adjusts to the demands of generative AI and increased data consumption, and quantum networks have the potential to help the industry meet those targets.
An international team of researchers from the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Eindhoven University of Technology, and the University of L’Aquila has achieved…
