Data sources are brought closer to enterprise applications through edge computing
Edge Computing Market |
Edge computing is a distributed information technology (IT)
architecture in which client data is processed as close to the original source
as possible at the network's perimeter.
Modern businesses rely on data to provide important business
insight and real-time management over crucial business processes and
operations. Large amounts of data may be routinely acquired from sensors and
IoT devices running in real time from remote places and harsh working
environments practically anywhere in the world, and today's organisations are
immersed in an ocean of data.
However, this virtual stream of data is altering how firms
approach computing. The traditional computing architecture, which is based on a
centralised data centre and the everyday internet, isn't well suited to
transporting ever-increasing rivers of real-world data. Bandwidth constraints,
latency concerns, and unpredictably disrupted networks can all sabotage such
initiatives. Edge
computing architecture is being used by businesses to address these
data concerns.
Edge computing, in its most basic form, moves certain
storage and compute resources out from the central data centre and closer to
the data source. Rather than sending raw data to a central data centre for
processing and analysis, this work is done where the data is generated, whether
that's in a retail store, a factory floor, a large utility, or all over a smart
city. Only the results of that computer effort at the edge are sent back to the
main data centre for evaluation and other human interactions, such as real-time
business insights, equipment repair projections, or other actionable replies.
