Edge Computing is future.
Dec 21, 2021
In contrast to cloud computing, where data is processed and stored far away from the end user in large data centers, edge computing puts computer data at “the edge,” close to the end user. Experts do not expect the cloud to disappear completely, but rather work in tandem with edge computing as it brings processing to users, streamlining anything from factory production to self-driving car response.
Technology like autonomous cars, video conferencing, and augmented reality all benefit from edge computing. For example, when an autonomous car makes a split-second decision to brake and avoid a collision, an on-board computer system — edge computing — eliminates the delay of waiting for a server in the cloud to respond.
