Edge Computing ● Edge computing is the practice of processing data near the edge of the network, where the data is being generated, instead of in a centralised data-processing warehouse. For internet devices, the network edge is where the device, or the local network containing the device, communicates with the Internet. Key benefits of Edge computing: ● Decreased latency and real-time or near real-time data analysis as the data is analyzed at the local device level, not in a distant data centre or cloud; ● Lower operating costs due to the smaller operational and data management expenses of local devices vs. clouds and data centres;
