A simpler overview
Lets just detail some interesting things about Edge Computing, as if your granny was asking
- Edge computing is the 4th industrial revolution
- It removes the need for data centres to deliver your applications and services
- Instead of a server delivering your app to your customers, a small box or your laptop becomes and server.
- with lots of people all connected the load is shared – the more people who join, the faster the system gets
- when you or your customers access the app, the nearest device provides the data.
- significantly cuts down the power needed to deliver the same service. Very environmentally friendly!
- anyone can use this with more advanced and user friendly systems becoming more available
- you can install and run the same platforms available on the “normal” internet. Invoicing, sales, VoIP, Social networks can all work using this new approach
- your data belongs, stay with and is owned by you
