According to a report by the Financial Times, Apple Siri may be the new Google. In other words, Apple might be working on their own search engine in a move to make Siri a one-stop shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rumours emerged at a time when big tech is under growing scrutiny for its monopolistic practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Besides trying to capitalise on the current media agenda to appear more pro-competition, Apple Siri intends to eliminate the need for its popular assistant to resort to Google searches whenever a query is made.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Experts, however, believe the move might be a stepping stone towards a full-fledged search engine that eliminates the Google factor altogether.<\/p>\n

Will Apple Siri be the new Google? Edge computing in 2021<\/h2>\n

In addition, a new Forrester report points at 5 predictions about how technological transformation will impact edge computing in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spending on edge computing is expected to grow at the detriment of the public cloud. Orchestration and 5G will also keep on spreading.<\/p>\n

Edge hosting is likely to become its own marketplace, with content delivery companies reaching out to colocation partners to build a widely distributed network of data centres that can host applications closer to where they are used.<\/p>\n

AI will also move towards the edge, making machine learning happen closer to the source rather than within the data centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enterprise software giant SAP had a few cloud updates as well this week. The firm announced a new roadmap to shift to a co-innovation, one-data model that prioritises cloud-based subscriptions over traditional upfront licensing. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
