Recent Telehouse research showed that already more than two-thirds of UK IT decision-makers have implemented a strategy for edge.
The outfit thinks that as we move into 2022, and 5G is deployed more widely, we will see even greater demand for edge data centres and an increase in acquisitions, mergers and the launch of new data centres across the UK.
Edge computing, delivered from this fast-emerging network will provide the capacity to support smart cities, and a latency of less than one millisecond.
The report said that despite challenges from hyperscalers, the colocation market will continue to thrive in 2022. Telehouse research shows that 99 percent of UK enterprise IT decision-makers are using colocation, with 40 percent of enterprise IT infrastructure outsourced.
