Edge‑Computing
⚡ What Is Edge‑Computing?
Edge‑Computing means processing and storing data closer to where it’s generated—right at the “edge” of the network—instead of sending everything to centralized cloud servers. This approach reduces latency, lowers bandwidth usage, and enhances both performance and data privacy .
📈 Key Benefits for Modern Applications
-
Ultra‑low latency: Vital for real-time systems like autonomous vehicles, industrial control, or medical devices that require fast responses
-
Resilience & availability: Operations continue locally—even during internet outages—making edge setups ideal for critical infrastructure and remote installations
-
Bandwidth efficiency & cost savings: By filtering and processing data locally, only relevant insights are transmitted to the cloud, reducing network load and costs
-
Data sovereignty & privacy: Sensitive data stays within the local network, helping meet regulations and reducing exposure risk
