Edge computing is a distributed computing model that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it’s needed — at the “edge” of the network. Instead of sending data back and forth to a centralized cloud data center, edge computing processes it locally on devices such as IoT sensors, routers, or local servers.
This approach reduces latency, improves performance, and enhances security — all while supporting the growing ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and real-time applications like autonomous vehicles and smart factories.
