Context
This article will introduce the definition and examples of edge computing. Edge computing refers to a method of processing data close to users and devices. This approach minimises latency and bandwidth costs, ensuring fast, scalable digital experiences. The infrastructure for edge computing includes dedicated servers, server networks, and IoT devices, with locations varying widely as the technology continues to develop.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.

Also read: The future of cloud computing: exploring hybrid cloud (btw.media) Also read: Fundamentals of cloud computing: Security and beyond (btw.media) Edge computing is widely applied in all areas. Here are some of the examples. Rugged edge computers are crucial for autonomous vehicles as they can gather, process, analyse, and decide on data from vehicle sensors and cameras within milliseconds. This rapid decision-making capability is essential to prevent collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, or objects. Using the cloud for data analysis introduces latency issues that can only be resolved by processing data locally at the edge where it is generated. This approach eliminates the need for data to travel long distances to centralised data centers for analysis and decision-making.
