Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm which provides real-time data analysis and decreases the cost related to data management & operations. It is a network of data centers that store & process data locally before sending them to cloud or centers. It optimizes computing to avoid interruptions in sending or receiving data. It brings data processing nearer to Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to improve efficiency and reduce latency. IoT and IIoT are examples of edge computing. IoT includes home appliances, traffic lights, mobile devices, motor vehicles (trucks & cars), thermostats and smart streetlights. Additionally, IIoT includes smart power grid technology, automated industrial machines, magnetic resonance (MR) scanner, wind turbine and undersea blowout preventers.
The key characteristics are real-time interactions, scalable, geographically distributed, autonomous & distributed, heterogeneous and contextual & low latency. Some of the benefits are included cost-effective, secure, faster response and reliable operations.
