About
Edge computing is a solution where data is processed as close as possible to the place where it is generated. Applications that can benefit from edge computing are those where low latency and high throughput are critical, or where it is too expensive to send the data back to a distant cloud for processing. Other ways edge computing offers benefits includes cases where the transport network is bandwidth constrained or unreliable, or the data is too sensitive to be sent over public networks, even if encrypted. Edge computing is a complementary aspect of distributed cloud computing, and represents the farthest end of distributed cloud architecture.
