Formerly a technology trend to watch, cloud computing has become mainstream,
with major players Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google
Cloud dominating the market. The adoption of cloud computing is still growing,
as more and more businesses migrate to a cloud solution. But it’s no longer the
emerging technology. Edge is. Move over, cloud computing, and make way for the
edge.
As the quantity of data we’re dealing with continues to increase, we’ve
realized the shortcomings of cloud computing in some situations. Edge computing
is designed to help solve some of those problems as a way to bypass the latency
caused by cloud computing and getting data to a data center for processing. It
can exist “on the edge,” if you will, closer to where computing needs to
happen.For this reason, edge computing can be used to process time-sensitive data in remote locations with limited or no connectivity to a centralized location.
In those situations, edge computing can act like mini data centers.
Edge computing will increase as use the Internet of Things (IoT) devices
increases. By 2022, the global edge computing market is expected to reach $6.72 billion.
