Edge Computing
To circumvent this constraint, the concept of edge computing has been considered. Edge computing, simply put, is where core network and cloud
Edge computing stakes out different “real estate” when locating areas of computing functions. Edge computing is a distributed computing framework that moves compute resources from the data center to remote locations within the execution layer near the exterior boundary of that computing environment.
Many edge devices do not have the power needed to do complex computing. A cellphone, for example, while powerful compared to what was produced decades ago, still pales in comparison to even a mid-range laptop when it comes to power. The capabilities of a data center can further dwarf the potential of the majority of edge devices.
The quality of corporate decision-making usually improves considerably with the addition of edge computing, which supports the use of real-time data analytics. When organizations use edge devices to handle data-processing chores, the overall efficiency of that processing effort improves dramatically.
Edge computing increases the overall attack surface for a network. Edge devices can serve as a point of entry for cyberattacks, allowing the attacker to inject malicious software and infect the network. Unfortunately, setting up adequate security is difficult in a distributed environment.
