Market Leaders Address Latency Challenges with Edge Computing Solutions
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2025--
The 'Next-gen Content Delivery Networks and Edge Services, 2025: Frost Radar Report' report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The report for the next-gen content delivery networks (CDN) and edge services industry analyzes providers offering services to deliver web content, video, and applications to end-users with high performance, low latency, and robust security.
The CDN market has evolved to include:
The CDN industry has transformed from solely focusing on content delivery to providing a comprehensive suite of services that enable secure, high-performance, and real-time content delivery, edge computing, and cloud-native services.
Reducing latency and enhancing performance are critical challenges in the next-gen CDN and edge services market. The rapid growth of video streaming services and the increasing demand for high-resolution content (such as 4K and 8K videos), as well as lower latency, are pushing the limits of traditional CDN infrastructure. Additionally, as real-time applications like IoT, smart cities, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) become more prevalent, the demand for low-latency, high-performance content delivery networks (CDNs) is increasingly growing.
Market leaders are addressing this challenge by integrating edge computing solutions that process data closer to end-users, significantly reducing latency and improving performance. This transformation is essential for supporting the growing demand for bandwidth-intensive digital experiences.
The CDN and edge services market is witnessing a transformation driven by innovative business models and megatrends. Traditional CDNs operated on a per-byte traffic charging model, but this approach is becoming commoditized. Providers are now expanding their service portfolios to include higher value-add networks and security services, creating subscription-based packages. This diversification is reshaping the market, with top-tier providers offering comprehensive solutions that encompass content delivery, security, and edge computing.
The market is characterized by intense competition and geopolitical challenges. Consolidation among major players and the entry of cloud providers and ISPs are increasing competitive pressure. Additionally, geopolitical factors such as data sovereignty and localization regulations are complicating global content delivery. Successful companies are navigating these challenges by adopting multi-cloud strategies, enhancing their security offerings, and expanding their global reach through partnerships and localized presence.
The 13 companies profiled in this report were selected based on their ability to meet a set of specific criteria, including offering a comprehensive CDN solution with a significant global presence, providing robust edge computing capabilities, integrating advanced security features, supporting cloud-native services, demonstrating innovation and R&D investments, having a visible customer base and significant revenues, and providing a user-friendly platform.

Champions League final: PSG 5 Inter 0 – Desire Doue stars as Parisians end long wait to become European champions
Paris Saint-Germain landed European football's biggest prize on Saturday night, dismantling Inter 5-0 in Munich to win the 2024-25 Champions League, only the second French side to be crowned continental champions, after Marseille in 1993. PSG have made a habit of starting quickly in the Champions League this season and the final was no different, Luis Enrique's team finding themselves 2-0 up after 20 minutes thanks to goals from Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue. In an era where showpiece events can be sterile, cagey affairs, this was very much business as usual for the French champions. Advertisement To their credit Inter improved after half-time but the game was sealed just after the hour mark when Doue scored his second of the evening, after delightful work from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha. Further goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu were merely the icing on a highly impressive cake. Their winning margin of five goals is the biggest ever recorded in a Champions League final. The Athletic's writers break down the key moments from a memorable game. Can you really have much European Cup heritage when your club is only 55-years-young, has spent only 40 of those years playing at this rarefied level, and just 12 of them at these late, defining stages of the competition? Well yes you can, if you're Paris Saint-Germain: you can have a heritage of failing and falling short, of calamity and collapse, of wasting talent and resources at an unprecedented scale. In recent years, such a commanding first half performance — soaring into a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes — might still have set us up for another night of schadenfreude across much of the rest of Europe. But as everyone has been at pains to point out on the road to Munich and throughout PSG's run to this final, those Benzema hat-tricks at the Bernabeu, late Rashford penalties and remontadas now feel a thing of the past. Everyone expected Luis Enrique's side to at least dominate possession. In the end, they dominated entirely. For all the talk of Inter's threat on transition after their helter-skelter semi-final with Barcelona, the Serie A side were contained, controlled and totally overcome. The Qatari state's vision of a team of superstars lifting European football's greatest prize has not come to pass, but it was perhaps inevitable — given the level of expense — that at some point, PSG would make history. Advertisement And this young, hungry, brilliantly-talented team — such a departure from the PSG sides of the recent past — may well be the future too. Mark Critchley Inter were on course for a treble going into the end of April. Emulating the immortals of 2010 was an opportunity they cautiously believed in seizing. In the end, Inter finished the season empty-handed — unless the Club World Cup figures as a goal. It is hard to imagine an exhausted team being up for it. Much has been made of the average age of this Inter team and how the squad needs to undergo a rejuvenation over the summer. Overseeing that process will be president Beppe Marotta and sporting director Pier Ausilio who will meet Simone Inzaghi this week to discuss his future. In addition to new younger players, Inter might be in need of a new coach if Inzaghi decides he has taken this team as far as he can. Make no mistake this has been a painful week for Inter. Losing the Scudetto on the final day was hard to take. But the pain would have been salved had they won the Champions League, the only trophy this group of players is missing. Getting over the disappointing denouement of this campaign will take a long time. It will live with these players for the rest of their careers. James Horncastle Desire Doue has been enormous fun this season. PSG have such a glut of talent that standing out in their crowd would be a challenge for almost anyone, but Doue has often been a delight — and perhaps that's because he has felt so new and novel during this Champions League run? Most people knew his name a year ago, when he became a gossip column staple ahead of his transfer from Rennes, but how many really appreciated his body of work or could speak descriptively on what made him so talented? In material terms, Doue had an exceptional impact on this final. His drifting movement behind Inter's defence created the first goal and he scored the second, running the length of the pitch to keep up with a counter attack and eventually receive Ousmane Dembele's superb final pass. His second goal was more than a moment; it was history. It put the game beyond doubt and put Inter away. But Doue is in this rare territory in which, other than for those who watch him in Ligue 1 every week, he is doing something different in every Champions League round. A bit of skill. A type of finish. Some nous that he was presumed not to possess. First and foremost, his assist and goals have won his team the European Cup for the first time. That matters more than anything else. But his part in that historic achievement comes in a specific context — he has spent the year gently exploding into the mainstream, with this final crescendo in Munich, in the biggest club game of all. 1+1 – Paris SG's Désiré Doué is the sixth different player to both score and assist in a UEFA Champions League final, while at 19 years and 362 days, he's the youngest to do so. Star. — OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) May 31, 2025 Seb Stafford-Bloor Explosive starts accelerated PSG past Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal in the knockouts, and their two early strikes tonight quickly put the game to bed. It might sound simple, but consistently striking early in the knockout stages has helped them to seize control and throw their opponents' carefully laid game plans into disarray. Luis Enrique's side has now scored nine goals within the opening 20 minutes across their Champions League matches. The immediate start looked inauspicious, though, as PSG booted the ball straight into touch from kick-off. But this is how they often start games in the Champions League and the PSG machine clicked into gear almost instantly, suffocating Inter with their pressing and relentlessly pulling them out of shape with fluid rotations. Advertisement Luis Enrique remarked that they 'scored the goal early playing the way we play' after Ousmane Dembele's early strike in the semi-final against Arsenal. The opening goal in Munich similarly showcased their free-flowing attacking philosophy. Vitinha slipped a delicate pass to Desire Doue on the left, who had drifted to the opposite flank, before squaring for right-back Hakimi, arriving in the box to tap home. Beyond the obvious advantage of taking the lead, PSG's early goals provide the perfect platform to unleash their devastating counter-attacks — no side has scored more than their six on the break in this season's competition. Inzaghi's side, unaccustomed to chasing games having trailed for only 16 minutes all tournament before the final, were forced to overcommit in search of an equaliser. That opened the door for PSG to launch a lightning-quick break just before the 20-minute mark, ending with Doue's deflected finish. PSG have been quick out of the blocks throughout this Champions League campaign, and another blistering start tonight proved pivotal in sealing their first-ever title. Conor O'Neil As pretty as Paris Saint-Germain's opening goal was, Federico Dimarco's deep position clearly made it possible; Dimarco's decision to drop behind his own defensive line was fatal, playing Desire Doue onside and thereby opening up his own defence. The habit of modern football is to damn players for any mistake. Especially when they are made in finals. Big reactions, big clicks, big social media currency; that's the game. But it is worth remembering just how fast the game is at this level and how little time Dimarco had to make that decision. Surely he's due some empathy? Remember this, too: making a cautious move in the opening minutes of a Champions League final, against a team loaded with attacking strength, who can move the ball quickly and with disguise is a very human thing to do — a natural act of self-preservation. Advertisement And the deflection for the second: given the state of the handball law, players can be forgiven for taking that kind of stance when facing a shot, assuming a position that could survive even a split-second-by-split-second VAR replay. He just got unlucky and, again, that's something that can befall any player on any occasion. Seb Stafford-Bloor You have to say it was pure class from Achraf Hakimi. The timing, the composure, the presence of mind, all on the grandest stage of all. No doubt about it. That was one of the all-time great non-celebration celebrations. The finish wasn't bad either. Can you blame Hakimi? After all, whom among us can forget his 45 appearances for Inter during the 2020-21 season – some four years ago now – when he forged such an unshakeable bond with the Nerazzuri faithful as they sat watching behind-closed-doors game at home? In all seriousness, it takes some real sangfroid to open the scoring just 12 minutes into a Champions League final and have the equanimity to not even look remotely happy about it, to hold your hands up in apology rather than start wildly windmilling. Maybe you would've preferred Hakimi to celebrate properly, but perhaps he knew the beating that was coming for his former side. And you imagine the Inter fans were thankful for it by full time. It was the only moment of the night that anyone in Paris Saint-Germain shirt showed mercy. Mark Critchley I wonder what a PSG vs Barcelona final would have looked like? That's not to say that Inter did not deserve their place in Munich; they did, clearly. But perhaps PSG-Barcelona would have taken on more of a basketball, back-and-forth feel, with each team trading stylish punches, in some sort of flair-off. Advertisement Maybe. PSG still win that game, though. It would be a mistake to say that they just overwhelmed Inter with their attacking ability when they controlled the game, too, and nullified all of the Italians' considerable threat. Where was Thuram? Where was Martinez? Where were Barella and Dumfries? As Barcelona showed in the semi-final: they will always give their opposition a chance — either through naivety or imbalance. So, had they played PSG it might have been a more entertaining game, but such a streetsmart and talented team would surely have been too much for them too.

Liverpool faces transfer decision as teenage star wanted by Premier League rivals
Liverpool teenager Kieran Morrison is the subject of interest from Wolves, with clubs around Europe also said to be keen on the 18-year-old. Morrison, an attacking midfielder, made 27 appearances at youth level for Liverpool this season, scoring six goals and registering five assists. Advertisement The youngster, who Jurgen Klopp was seemingly a fan of, also made an appearance in Arne Slot's first-team squad earlier this year, when he was an unused substitute during a Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano said that Wolves approached Liverpool over the possibility of signing Morrison, although it's not apparent at this stage what Liverpool intends to do. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz mega offer, Luis Diaz 'talks', Jeremie Frimpong confirmed READ MORE: Bayer Leverkusen sends cryptic Florian Wirtz social media post as Liverpool transfer edges closer Advertisement Morrison signed his first professional contract with the Reds in May 2024, having joined the Reds from Manchester United when he was playing at Under-14 level. Morrison is known at youth level for his spectacular goals, joking last year that he rarely scores tap-ins. "Since I was four years old," he told club media. "Training every day since I was young. It helps a lot. I always try to stay out and do more, do as much as I can and try to squeeze every ounce out of training. "Ever since I was young, I've always liked scoring top-bins goals outside the box or outside-the-box screamers." Morrison was rewarded for his impressive form during the 2023-24 training with a call-up to first-team training during Klopp's final few months at the club. Advertisement "I was nervous but as soon as I started getting on the ball, all the nerves just went and I just relied on my skills and my basic tools," Morrison said at the time. "It's like, 'I can't mess up.' You just have to be yourself. Morrison previously trained with the first team -Credit:2024 Liverpool FC Of his ambitions for the future, he said: "I just want to prove that I'm ready for the first team and that when I get in there I'm not some little kid and I can actually handle myself." Morrison is one of several players who could leave Liverpool this summer, with a number of first-teamers also expected to depart. Darwin Nunez is likely to leave after three underwhelming years on Merseyside, while Luis Diaz is the subject of interest from Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, as well as Spanish outfit Barcelona. Advertisement Kostas Tsimikas is also likely to leave after five years at the club in order to make room for Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, who Liverpool is in talks to sign. Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa are also facing uncertain futures after struggling for game time this season, but Wataru Endo, who has also not played as much as he would have liked, said that he expected to remain at the club next season.

These stories could change how you feel about AI
Here's a selection of recent headlines about artificial intelligence, picked more or less at random: For some recent graduates, the AI job apocalypse may already be here Artificial intelligence threatens to raid the water reserves of Europe's driest regions Top AI CEO foresees white-collar bloodbath Okay, not exactly at random — I did look for more doomy-sounding headlines. But they weren't hard to find. That's because numerous studies indicate that negative or fear-framed coverage of AI in mainstream media tends to outnumber positive framings. And to be clear, there are good reasons for that! From disinformation to cyberwarfare to autonomous weapons to massive job loss to the actual, flat-out end of the world (shameless plug of my book here), there are a lot of things that could go very, very wrong with AI. But as in so many other areas, the emphasis on the negative in artificial intelligence risks overshadowing what could go right — both in the future as this technology continues to develop and right now. As a corrective (and maybe just to ingratiate myself to our potential future robot overlords), here's a roundup of one way in which AI is already making a positive difference in three important fields. Whenever anyone asks me about an unquestionably good use of AI, I point to one thing: AlphaFold. After all, how many other AI models have won their creators an actual Nobel Prize? AlphaFold, which was developed by the Google-owned AI company DeepMind, is an AI model that predicts the 3D structures of proteins based solely on their amino acid sequences. That's important because scientists need to predict the shape of protein to better understand how it might function and how it might be used in products like drugs. That's known as the 'protein-folding problem' — and it was a problem because while human researchers could eventually figure out the structure of a protein, it would often take them years of laborious work in the lab to do so. AlphaFold, through machine-learning methods I couldn't explain to you if I tried, can make predictions in as little as five seconds, with accuracy that is almost as good as gold-standard experimental methods. By speeding up a basic part of biomedical research, AlphaFold has already managed to meaningfully accelerate drug development in everything from Huntington's disease to antibiotic resistance. And Google DeepMind's decision last year to open source AlphaFold3, its most advanced model, for non-commercial academic use has greatly expanded the number of researchers who can take advantage of it. You wouldn't know it from watching medical dramas like The Pitt, but doctors spend a lot of time doing paperwork — two hours of it for every one hour they actually spend with a patient, by one count. Finding a way to cut down that time could free up doctors to do actual medicine and help stem the problem of burnout. That's where AI is already making a difference. As the Wall Street Journal reported this week, health care systems across the country are employing 'AI scribes' — systems that automatically capture doctor-patient discussions, update medical records, and generally automate as much as possible around the documentation of a medical interaction. In one pilot study employing AI scribes from Microsoft and a startup called Abridge, doctors cut back daily documentation time from 90 minutes to under 30 minutes. Not only do ambient-listening AI products free doctors from much of the need to make manual notes, but they can eventually connect new data from a doctor-patient interaction with existing medical records and ensure connections and insights on care don't fall between the cracks. 'I see it being able to provide insights about the patient that the human mind just can't do in a reasonable time,' Dr. Lance Owens, regional chief medical information officer at University of Michigan Health, told the Journal. A timely warning about a natural disaster can mean the difference between life and death, especially in already vulnerable poor countries. That is why Google Flood Hub is so important. An open-access, AI-driven river-flood early warning system, Flood Hub provides seven-day flood forecasts for 700 million people in 100 countries. It works by marrying a global hydrology model that can forecast river levels even in basins that lack physical flood gauges with an inundation model that converts those predicted levels into high-resolution flood maps. This allows villagers to see exactly what roads or fields might end up underwater. Flood Hub, to my mind, is one of the clearest examples of how AI can be used for good for those who need it most. Though many rich countries like the US are included in Flood Hub, they mostly already have infrastructure in place to forecast the effects of extreme weather. (Unless, of course, we cut it all from the budget.) But many poor countries lack those capabilities. AI's ability to drastically reduce the labor and cost of such forecasts has made it possible to extend those lifesaving capabilities to those who need it most. One more cool thing: The NGO GiveDirectly — which provides direct cash payments to the global poor — has experimented with using Flood Hub warnings to send families hundreds of dollars in cash aid days before an expected flood to help themselves prepare for the worst. As the threat of extreme weather grows, thanks to climate change and population movement, this is the kind of cutting-edge philanthropy. Even what seems to be the best applications for AI can come with their drawbacks. The same kind of AI technology that allows AlphaFold to help speed drug development could conceivably be used one day to more rapidly design bioweapons. AI scribes in medicine raise questions about patient confidentiality and the risk of hacking. And while it's hard to find fault in an AI system that can help warn poor people about natural disasters, the lack of access to the internet in the poorest countries can limit the value of those warnings — and there's not much AI can do to change that. But with the headlines around AI leaning so apocalyptic, it's easy to overlook the tangible benefits AI already delivers. Ultimately AI is a tool. A powerful tool, but a tool nonetheless. And like any tool, what it will do — bad and good — will be determined by how we use it. A version of this story originally appeared in the Good News newsletter. Sign up here!
