When most people talk about &#8220;edge&#8221; devices, they refer to Internet of Things (IoT) products. But Microsoft has embraced this concept differently and has been growing its portfolio with edge devices like Azure Stack Edge Pro and Pro R. Microsoft is including all devices with onboard AI-processing capabilities as its intelligent edge device. In line with the Microsoft Azure trends, even the Azure Modular Datacenters are edge devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <\/span><b>top 5 trends<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of cloud computing, Edge is definitely the new cloud. Forecasters believe that the business models of 2021 will support the deployment of edge on the cloud platforms along with the support of AI and 5G, allowing further expansion.\u00a0 While the centralized cloud system is here to stay, serverless computing models will slowly take over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft is also going to announce an AWS Outposts competitor, which is rumored to be named &#8220;Fiji&#8221;. Fiji will offer Microsoft Azure the capacity to perform as a local cloud, where public Azure manages and delivers it in the form of servers, directly provided by Microsoft.

Based on these <\/span><b>Microsoft Azure trends<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and its wide advocacy for data security, Azure is increasingly getting popular with customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All kinds of Azure deployments take precautionary measures to ensure that the customers get effective solutions with zero security threats.
