Today’s hyperconnected world is a result of several trends maturing and intersecting over the past decade, effectively decentralizing communications, computing, cloud, and business processes.
The widespread availability of smartphones and other devices with significant computational capability has resulted in the decentralisation of computing. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are advancing to the point that they are pushing digital transformation and automation across all industries, which will necessitate more processing power than the central cloud can provide.
The idea of deploying a new decentralised edge cloud has also grown more important.
