Edge Computing

Edge computing is an emerging computing paradigm that refers to a series of networks and devices at or near the user. Edge refers to processing data closer to where it is generated, allowing for faster processing and greater capacity, resulting in better action-driven results in real time. Edge computing is the local processing and storage source for IoT device data and computing needs, reducing communication latency between IoT devices and the central IT network to which these devices are connected. Edge computing is a distributed computing framework that brings enterprise applications closer to data sources such as IoT devices or local edge servers etc. This proximity to the source of data can lead to powerful business benefits, including faster insights, improved response times & better bandwidth availability.
