What is edge computing?<\/h3>\n

Having access to relevant data, and the valuable insights that it contains, is critical for companies of all sizes and industries. Edge computing is a distributed IT architecture in which user data is processed at the periphery of the network on so-called \u201cedge devices,\u201d which are physically located as close to the original data source as possible.<\/p>\n

In recent years, edge computing has soared in popularity. According to Grand View Research, the edge computing market was valued at $4.68 billion in 2020, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.4 percent from 2021 to 2028.<\/p>\n

Why has edge computing seen such an explosion of interest? Today\u2019s businesses are scattered across multiple sites, from offices and warehouses to factories and construction sites. This has led to the desire to collect vast amounts of data from sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, operating in real-time from remote locations.<\/p>\n

Edge computing is especially crucial for companies seeking a competitive advantage over their business rivals. For example, edge computing can help reduce IT costs because you no longer need to transfer all of your IoT data to the cloud or keep it on-premises. Instead, edge analytics tools can sift through the noise and identify which of this data is most valuable for in-depth analysis. High-value data can also be compressed at the edge, further reducing the overall data volume and network bandwidth that\u2019s needed to move data to the cloud.<\/p>\n

As a relatively new technology trend, however, edge computing entails a great deal of business complexity. Moving computation to the edge requires major adjustments to your IT infrastructure, including connectivity, application development, traffic delivery, and service management. In particular, businesses need storage solutions that can address the unique challenges of edge computing, as we\u2019ll discuss later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the use cases of edge computing?<\/h3>\n

There are as many possible use cases and applications for edge computing as there are businesses that want to adopt it. In this section, we\u2019ll offer just a few ideas for how to use edge computing.<\/p>\n
