New Omdia report offers first of its kind analysis of the industrial edge

“They’re too one-dimensional.” That’s probably the one common critique I hear from customers regarding most market share reports. They typically cover one product, not solutions. Ideally, customers would like to see a wider lens view that measures vendor market share of more complete solutions. That’s one of the reasons I find the new Omdia report so compelling. It measures vendors’ market share inclusive of the entire industrial edge – switching, routing and wireless – creating…
