2. The edge computing hype is waning

Post by Rakhirandiseo »

Edge computing—a type of architecture that places some workloads at the “edge” of the network rather than in central data centers—has been a hot topic for years. The general consensus has been that if you want to optimize performance (and perhaps security), you need to be strategic about how you use edge computing.

But in 2025, the topic may be losing its edge. As Gartner notes, edge computing is struggling to get its feet wet. And while some people are pushing what they see as new ideas in the space, like deploying AI workloads on edge devices, those ideas seem far-fetched. The typical edge device doesn’t have the hardware capabilities to serve as a high-performance engine for serious AI inference.

Edge computing won't disappear entirely. But in 2025 and beyond, it's likely to seem less cutting-edge.

3. Growing interest in supercloud
Over the past two to three years, the supercloud—a australia mobile database concept that abstracts underlying cloud platforms and infrastructure to provide a single management layer that works across all public, private, and hybrid cloud platforms—has slowly but surely grown in popularity.

Currently, the supercloud remains more of a concept than a reality, and is unlikely to become mainstream in 2025. However, in the new year, the supercloud may well become a more important trend as companies look for more flexible approaches to deploying and managing cloud workloads.

4. Multi-cloud becomes the norm
When the idea of ​​using multiple clouds simultaneously became popular about five years ago, multi-cloud architectures were seen as something useful, but not a necessity.

However, this is changing as multi-cloud becomes the norm. Increasingly, companies are realizing that relying on only one cloud puts them at a disadvantage. They may be missing out on important cost optimization opportunities or preventing different teams and departments from using the cloud platforms and tools they find most useful.
