EnglishEdge computing
The goal of edge computing is to bring computing power and data storage closer to where it is needed, rather than relying on a cloud or on-premises datacenter. In edge computing, compute and storage take place on devices at the edge of the network, such as routers, gateways, switches, and sensors.
Edge computing can be a viable option where low latency, high bandwidth, and real-time processing are critical. For example, in the case of autonomous vehicles, real-time decision making is critical for safety. In this scenario, edge computing can enable the vehicle to process data and make decisions locally, rather than sending all sensor data to a centralized datacenter.
Edge computing is also gaining popularity in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, where a large number of devices generate data that must be processed in real time. By using edge computing, organizations can reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent to the cloud, which can reduce costs and improve performance.
