5G Era Will See Huge Shifts in Computing and Storage

Some of us believe incremental new use cases and potential revenue in the 5G era will be driven mostly by enterprise use cases such as internet of things. The shift from consumer to enterprise for new revenue growth is mirrored by a huge shift of computing activity.

In the internet era, so far, data volumes have been lead by consumer apps such as streaming video, audio and web usage. By 2025, IDC predicts, volume will have shifted to enterprise. That, in turn, will 

While data storage is likely to remain “in the cloud,” processing is likely to move increasingly to the edge, driven by real-time apps and use cases, especially those related to internet of things apps. In most cases, those IoT apps will be deployed by enterprises. 


For that reason, global data processing volume will shift to the enterprise. 


This is a fairly good illustration of edge computing conducted by a device (personal health monitor, medical monitoring on the premises or at an edge data center. According to a study from the International Data Corporation (IDC), 45 percent of all data created by IoT devices will be stored, processed, analyzed and acted upon close to or at the edge of a network by 2020.
