Worldwide Edge Enterprise Infrastructure Workloads Forecast, 2023–2027


This IDC study provides assessment of the market size and forecast for global spending on server and storage infrastructure for enterprise workloads running in edge environments. Suppliers of edge-focused server and storage systems, cloud service providers that offer infrastructure services for the edge, and enterprises that plan their edge-based IT infrastructure spend can leverage this document toward their planning."The edge segment of the workload infrastructure market is rapidly growing, driven by new advances like edge-native platforms," says Max Pepper, senior research analyst, IT Infrastructure at IDC. "Content delivery and networking and security are the biggest drivers of edge infrastructure spending, but we can expect AI/ML workloads to drive spending growth for both those workloads and workloads connected to AI/ML use cases as an expanding number of tools increase the level of AI operations at the edge."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
