Edge Computing Is Perfect Complement to Cloud Computing

Edge computing places processing power closer to where data is being created in the physical world. It has received increased investment thanks to connected devices like factory robots or autonomous vehicles. It complement's cloud computing by solving issues of latency, bandwidth, autonomy, or compliance. This article is part of a series about cloud technology called At Cloud Speed. As technologies like autonomous vehicles, factory robots, and remote monitoring systems become more commonplace, a concept called edge computing is receiving increased attention and investment. Edge computing refers to a model in which processing power is placed closer to where data is being created in the physical world: While cloud computing platforms like Amazon Web...

What is edge computing and how does it complement 5G?

Thanks to edge computing, “the possibilities of the current centralized cloud model have increased and expanded, supporting the evolution and deployment of IoT devices and admitting innovative applications, thus offering a great evolution for digital businesses as a result,” adds Ignacio Velilla, Spain´s Managing Director of Equinix, a multinational specialized in internet connection and data centers. Greater investment of resources A basic deployment of edge computing consists of a device that generates information and that requires information from other sensors or devices to modify its behavior or make decisions. “For this reason, a nearby infrastructure where all this data is stored and processed is necessary. This way each device can immediately access not only its data, but all the rest, to take advantage of the information generated,...
