Edge computing is a distributed computing framework that brings enterprise applications closer to data sources such as IoT devices or local edge servers. It refers to processing, analyzing, and storing data closer to where it is generated to enable rapid, near real-time analysis and response. The goal of edge computing is to reduce latency requirements while processing data and saving network costs. This proximity to data at its source can deliver strong business benefits, including faster insights, improved response times, and better bandwidth availability. Edge computing is used in a variety of applications, including self-driving cars, industrial automation, and smart homes. By processing data closer to the source, edge computing can help reduce network congestion and improve the efficiency of data analysis and processing.
