As artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things spread, edge computing has quickly established itself as a vital bridge between the cloud and the location of whatever it is that’s creating data.
Essentially, the edge environment allows for faster and more efficient work with data, especially when processing is time-critical and the latency of hosted platforms would create problems. An autonomous car’s need to avoid a collision was the example shared by Michael Dell when he launched Dell’s IoT and edge computing division last year.
Edge can also be used by network owners to create new revenue streams. But how?
