现在是真正关注边缘的时候了吗？

新的市场报告完全回答了这个问题。

鉴于围绕工业物联网(IIoT)展开的大肆宣传，因此，ARC 咨询集团作为领先的工业和基础设施技术研究和咨询公司，调查了现在是否到了应该切实关注边缘。

在工业环境中实现边缘计算，意味着可以近乎实时地获得适当的设备数据，以推动更好的决策，甚至可以控制工业流程。为此，边缘设备、嵌入式软件、边缘服务器、网关和云基础设施须始终保持正常运行。

哪些领域已在使用这种操作方式？哪些因素触发了设施的升级？获得安全可靠的分布式控制和分析系统需要多长时间？哪些公司目前正在将边缘用于工业物联网(IIoT)用例？公司如何规划投资和确定优先需求？针对这些问题， ARC调查了全球300多个终端用户，以评估目前和未来的市场状况。
