IDC’s research demonstrates that enterprise organizations are prioritizing digital infrastructure resiliency as a foundational element of their IT strategy. These organizations are looking for richer levels of visibility, crossplatform control, advanced data management, and protection that spans the entire edge to core continuum, and cloud-based as-a-service (XaaS) models are a great way to achieve those insights. IDC predicts by 2024, over 75% of infrastructure in edge locations will be consumed and/or operated via an as-a-service model, as will more than half of datacenter infrastructure.
