THE EMBEDDED CLOUD & SCALABLE EDGE NODES FOR MISSION CRITICAL, HIGH AVAILABILITY & EMBEDDED APPS, 2010
ENABLING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SAAS AND MANAGED SERVICES

Research Summary:

VDC’s Embedded Cloud & Scalable Edge Nodes for Mission Critical, High Availability & Embedded Apps research program will focus on how edge nodes fit into the corporate IT strategies of leading companies and the strength of future demand for edge node technology. VDC will begin its work by providing clear definitions for the key technical and commercial aspects of the scalable edge node market opportunity. The study will address many questions, including the following: i) How are next-gen network edge performance requirements being defined by enterprises?; ii) How are current and potential scalable edge node (SEN) deployers responding to SEN value propositions? Which technical features are resonating most? Which commercial enablers?; iii) Which embedded, mission critical and line of business applications are users in lead adoption markets looking to deploy? How are these applications shaping SEN definition, development, demand?; iv) What are to roadmaps to tie SEN to embedded networks, devices and applications?; v) How will the advent of the SEN influence the integration of these embedded networks, devices and applications with enterprise IT infrastructure?; vi) How will the SEN enable/ or be driven by cloud-enabled hosted and managed services demand in broader embedded/ line of business/ mission critical and core enterprise markets?; vii) Which embedded market segments represent the best fit for scalable edge node deployment?; viii) How will scalable edge nodes impact the overall embedded computing and communications market? The larger DC server market? The emerging line of business managed services opportunity? How will they influence SEN development?

Document Title: BUILDING OUT THE NEXT-GEN NETWORK EDGE WITH SCALABLE EDGE NODES: SCALABLE EDGE NODE DEPLOYMENT CASES
Publication Date:Dec, 2009
Excerpt:Scalable Edge Nodes might be described as flexible appliances, or higher density, low-mid range high availability PCs and servers. They are currently being specified, developed, marketed and deployed as host platforms for a wide range of traditional and emerging applications, installed in a wide range of deployment methods, including hosted or managed services modes.

Document Title: GROWTH IN EMBEDDED CLOUDS DRIVING WIDE OPEN OPPORTUNITY FOR TUNED-IN HARDWARE SUPPLIERS
Publication Date:Oct, 2011
Excerpt:Scalable Edge Nodes (SEN) are increasingly viewed as critical enabling technologies for migrating mission-critical, high availability, line-of-business applications to the cloud. However, SEN configurations make up a fragmented collection of solutions that are challenging to describe. While the basic definition of SEN is stabilizing, the breadth of their deployments will drive a wide array of configurations and complexity. This is only the first reason why both the SEN market and many other embedded cloud enabling technologies will create wide open markets for hardware suppliers tuned into this complexity.
