Definition
Edge computing is a method aimed at optimizing data processing at the edge of the network. Indeed, with the Internet of Things ( IoT ), the number of connected objects continues to increase, which generates a huge amount of data, saturating the bandwidth. To have a satisfactory data processing speed, Edge computing prefers to process data requiring reactivity locally. They therefore no longer need to be sent to the data center, limiting the use of bandwidth. This method is therefore very interesting because it offers reliability, security and greater efficiency.
Application
Since IoT is found in many areas, it is not surprising to find Edge computing in many places as well. Thus we see it in the field of construction, industry, health, etc. For example, the data generated in the health sector is important (patients, equipment, etc.), Edge computing here makes it possible to identify data that requires special attention from doctors so that they can provide the best care to patients.
Essential products compatible with Edge computing
To integrate Edge computing into your system, several product options are available, tailored to various specific needs and requirements:
EdgeBox
These devices are specially used for data processing at the edge of the network.
SEE THE EDGEBOXES
Gateway
These gateways are used for Edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. They use different connected devices like sensors to collect data.
