Edge and Fog Computing: Pushing Compute to the Edge

Edge and Fog Computing: Pushing Compute to the Edge Edge and fog computing push processing closer to where data is produced. This helps apps react faster and saves bandwidth. For teams working with sensors and devices, it means smarter machines and more reliable services, even when networks are busy. Edge computing means a device or gateway near the data source runs analysis and decisions locally. Fog computing adds a tier of intermediate nodes that collect, filter, and summarize data before sending it to the cloud. The cloud still handles heavy workloads and long-term storage. ...
