The overall market opportunity for telecom servers is expected to reach $14 billion by 2026, according to a new report from Dell’Oro Group. Most of that growth is coming from the expansion of edge data centers, according to the report.
Edge servers move computational resources and data storage resources closer to end users. That helps to reduce latency, the amount of time it takes for a packet of data to travel between them. Ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) is a hallmark of 5G standalone (SA) service, as is network slicing. Both are dependent on the widespread deployment of edge computing resources to happen, along with related technology like end-to-end network orchestration and automation and zero-touch network access.
