Edge computing is a revolutionary process to optimize cloud computing systems. It primarily states to the technologies enabling computation to be implemented at the edge of the network. The services are performed on upstream data on behalf of IoT services and downstream data on behalf of cloud services. Edge computing is responsible for supporting data acquisition & control functions, applications closer to the end user and storage of high bandwidth content. Edge sites are positioned as close as possible to the end-users for instance a logical endpoint of a network as part of a more widespread cloud computing architecture. However, the position of an edge for IoT may change according to the service required by the end-users.
Edge computing solves latency challenges and allow enterprises to take better advantage of opportunities leveraging a cloud computing architecture. The computing provides shorter period of open communication channels owing to improved latency allowing extended battery life for battery-powered IoT devices. The computing also facilitates proficient data management as data processing & data filtering can be performed at the edge of the network, offering cleaner data sets for cloud-based data analytics.
According to study, “Europe Edge Computing Market (2018-2023)” the key companies operating in the Europe edge computing market are Cisco Systems, Inc., Google Inc., Microsoft Corporation, IBM Corp., Amazon.
