Edge Computing Computing Close to the Data Source
Edge Computing Computing Close to the Data Source Edge computing moves computation, data storage, and services closer to where data is produced. Instead of sending every signal to a distant data center, devices at the edge process data locally or near the data source. This reduces round trips and speeds up responses. The close distance to data sources brings several benefits: lower latency, lower bandwidth needs, stronger privacy, and better resilience when networks are slow or unstable. With edge computing, decisions can be made in real time, and critical actions can happen without waiting for a cloud round trip. ...
