What is
Edge Computing?

As businesses are forced to adapt faster than ever to the constantly changing world that we live in, the need for a computing topology that allows for real-time responsiveness, minimal to no latency, increased data security, massive scalability, and more, is an absolute necessity to stay ahead of the competition.

Edge computing enables data to be processed as close to the things and people producing or consuming that information as possible, allowing for a faster response to streaming data.

Edge Computing is a networking topology that allows for the placement of compute power close to the devices and sensors that make up the Internet of Things. These devices are often away from the data center out in the “real world”.

Analysis occurs locally, on large sets of data without incurring the latency overhead that would be experienced if this analysis needed to be done in the cloud. Local connectivity also adds higher resiliency and ensures better responsiveness to critical situations, ensuring large volumes of data can be analyzed and scrubbed with only interesting data being sent to the cloud for additional analysis.

Real-Time Responsiveness
Respond to streaming data as it occurs without latency concerns, utilizing mesh architectures to enable simultaneous computing capabilities
Resiliency
Ensure the operation of and communication between edge devices continues even when connection to the internet is lost or is temporarily unavailable
Increased Data Security & Privacy
Locally process sensitive information directly on edge devices to limit both the amount of data transmitted back to data centers and data at risk in any one location
Scalability
Quickly iterate, expand, and evolve edge applications as requirements change or operations grow without needing to go back to the drawing board
Embedded Intelligence
Utilize increased local processing power to run more sophisticated and intelligent features directly on devices, at the source of data
Data Efficiency
Decentralize data processing to run as close to the source as possible and filter unnecessary data before sending back to the main system
"By 2023, more than 50% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside the data center or cloud, up from less than 10% in 2019. "
