What Is Edge Computing?
Edge Computing is the approach of processing data close to where it is generated (e.g., a sensor, camera, factory robot, in-vehicle computer, or an on-site server) instead of sending it to a centralized repository or cloud for processing.
In other words, compute power moves away from the “center” of the network and closer to the “edge” where data is born. This allows data to be analyzed locally and decisions to be made instantly, without long round trips.
