Global aggregate edge computing footprint 2019-2028

By 2028, the conservative forecast for the global aggregate edge computing infrastructure IT power footprint is anticipated to be 40,380 megawatts (MW), while the optimistic forecast puts the footprint at roughly 120,840 MW in that same year. The edge footprint is measured by the aggregate IT power rating of the edge infrastructure equipment and the edge data center facilities that are deployed. It shows the scale of edge infrastructure needed in order to meet the use case demands.
