ABOUT EDGE COMPUTING NEWS
Edge Computing News is a new online publication from TechForge Media focusing on the emerging area of edge computing and looking at its relationship between various stakeholders, from telecoms, to cloud, and developers.
Edge computing is defined by Gartner as “a part of a distributed computing topology in which information processing is located close to the edge – where things and people produce or consume that information” [1]. According to Frost & Sullivan, edge computing is a ‘foundational’ technology for industrial enterprises, with 90% of companies analysed forecast to utilise edge by 2022.
The new title aligns with TechForge’s B2B focus, as well as its wider strategy of exploring emerging technologies, with other publications including AI News, The Block, and IoT News.
“If the technological landscape is going one way, it is going towards the edge,” commented James Bourne, editor in chief, TechForge Media. “Launching Edge Computing News puts us in a great position to be at the forefront of these exciting developments, as well as being a link between many of our existing titles which are already exploring this area.”[2]
