In today’s world, data forms the basis for every decision and innovation. The way in which data is processed is of crucial importance. Traditionally, data is stored and processed in large data centers, but a technology that offers many advantages over the classic approach is increasingly coming to the fore and is an absolute game changer: edge computing.
The advantage of edge computing? Imagine being able to overcome the boundaries of conventional data centers and process data directly where it is generated, namely at the edge of the network. This is exactly what edge computing makes possible. It enables companies to no longer store data exclusively in remote server farms, but to process it closer to the source of the data. The resulting shift of computing power to the edge of the network opens up a multitude of new possibilities and fundamentally changes how we collect, analyze and use information.
With this blog series, we want to dive deep into the world of edge computing to understand what exactly edge computing is and why it is changing the future of computing. To this end, we will talk in detail about the benefits and look at specific application areas where edge computing is already being used successfully and what transformative change edge computing is bringing about. But before we get into the details, let’s first take a look at what edge computing actually means and why it can potentially be important for every company.
Let’s go on a journey to the edge of the network!
