Edge Computing

How edge compute works and why it's a game-changer

What is Edge Compute?

Edge compute is the data processing that takes place at the network edge to decrease latency and reduce demands on cloud compute and data center resources. Edge computing takes place in intelligent devices — right at the location where sensors and other instruments are gathering and processing data — to expedite that processing before devices connect to the Internet of Things (IoT) and send the data on for further use by enterprise applications and personnel.
