Edge Computing - Page 5

Edge Computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, thereby reducing latency, bandwidth use, and improving response times. Unlike traditional cloud computing that relies on centralized data centers, edge computing processes data at or near the source of data generation, such as IoT devices, local servers, or gateways. This approach is particularly beneficial for applications requiring real-time processing, such as autonomous vehicles, smart city infrastructures, and industrial automation. By minimizing the distance data has to travel, edge computing enhances performance and enables immediate data analysis and action, making it vital for applications that demand high speed and reliability.
