Solutions from startups like Nubix and Tanium, which provide inference, machine learning, and adaptation at the Edge are what will cause "The Tipping Point". Obviously major corporations such as Google and Apple are focusing on this space. For example, when any Google Car has an issue, EVERY Google car learns from that event. Classic machine learning at the Edge.
