ata is at the core of modern business operations. Organizations need to process and respond to large amounts of data to inform business decisions, boost efficiency, reduce costs, improve security, and increase customer satisfaction. To accomplish this, many businesses are moving beyond the bounds of their datacenters to decentralized com- puting at the edge. Edge deployments can provide faster insights for decision-making, increase data security, and reduce data transfer and collection costs.

What is edge computing?

Edge computing shifts compute processes from the datacenter to intelligent end- points at remote locations, while continuing to centralize resources when possible. Computations are performed closer to the point of data generation to rapidly deliver actionable insights based on time-sensitive data.
