Advantages of Edge Computing

  • Real-time or faster data processing and analysis: Data is processed closer to the source, not in an external data center or cloud, which reduces lag time.
  • Lower costs: Enterprises spend less on data management solutions for local devices than for cloud and data center networks.
  • Less network traffic: With an increasing number of IoT devices, data generation continues to rise at record rates. As a result, network bandwidth becomes more limited, overwhelming the cloud and leading to a greater bottleneck of data.
  • Increased application efficiency: With lower latency levels, applications can operate more efficiently and at faster speeds.
