With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial IoT, billions of devices are now connected worldwide, generating huge amounts of data. The cost of transporting all this data to cloud infrastructure and processing the data in the cloud can be prohibitive, leading to cost overruns and the failure of IoT solutions.
Edge (Of Net) Computing allows data to be processed at or near its source. Only the critical data or results need then be sent to cloud infrastructure, resulting in much-reduced transmission and processing costs. This can also have the added benefits of reduced latency, reduced total power consumption, and, with care, improved security. Edge networks are already in use in a range of industries.
