In the beginning, there was One Big Computer. Then, in the Unix era, we learned how to connect to that
computer using dumb (not a pejorative) terminals. Next we had personal computers, which was the first time
regular people really owned the hardware that did the work.
Typically in IoT use cases, a massive chunk of data goes through the data center, but edge computing
processes the data locally results in reduced traffic in the central repository.
This is done by IoT devices, transferring the data to the local device, which includes storage, compute, and
network connectivity.
After that, data is processed at the edge while another portion is sent to storage repository or central
processing in the data center.
Why is Edge Computing Important?
Edge
The word edge in this context means literal geographic distribution. Edge
computing is computing that’s done at or near the source of the data, instead of
relying on the cloud at one of a dozen data centres to do all the work. It doesn’t
mean the cloud will disappear. It means the cloud is coming to you.
Edge Devices
A device which produces data is edge devices like machines and sensors, or any
devices through which information is collected and delivered.
Edge Gateway
It’s a buffer where edge computing processing is done.
The gateway is the window into the environment beyond the edge of the network.
Fat Client
It’s a software that processes data in edge devices, which is opposite to thin client, which hardly transfers data.
There are various scenarios where speed and high-speed data are the
main components for management, power issues, analytics, and real-
time need, etc. helps to process data with edge computing in IoT.
Benefits of Enabling Edge Computing for
the Internet of Things (IoT)
Speed is increased.
Reliability is increased.
The random issue is reduced.
The compliance issue is reduced.
Hacking issues are reduced.
Random issues are reduced.
Instant Scalability.
Automated updates.
Collaboration with cloud.
Edge Computing vs. Cloud Computing
Security in Edge Computing
There are two sides of security in edge computing –
One of them is that the security in edge computing is better than any other part of the data storage
application because data is not traveling over the network; it stays where it is created.
The flip side of it is that security in edge computing is less secure because the edge devices in themselves
can be more vulnerable.
In conclusion, data encryption, access control, and the use of virtual private networks are crucial elements to
protect the edge computing system.
Use of Edge Computing
Smart applications and devices respond to data, instantly eliminating lag time.
Real-time data process with any latency where even milliseconds in latency make a
difference in the processing of data.
Acceleration in the data stream.
Efficient data processing in massive data.
Effective use of the application in a remote location.
Security for sensitive data even without putting in the public cloud.
