How edge computing can boost performance of the company

As the number of computing devices in use grows into the billions, the trend of migrating from the cloud and the data center to the edge continues to grow. This is a major movement. Indeed, unlike cloud computing, edge uses locally generated data to improve the speed of analysis, approaching real time. This means that more and more data can be analyzed. Corrective actions can be taken more quickly, without waiting to go through cloud processing. While edge computing is literally materializing everywhere, high-end edge deployments vary widely in approach and scope. They can range from a shoebox-sized data center on an oil rig to thousands of low-energy Bluetooth tags in a retail store. But they all have one thing in common: As application needs evolve, businesses must be able to position workloads where they are needed most to maximize their value.
