With its popularity increasing, one question is consistently arising over the past few years— how can edge computing be used to improve sustainability? In this blog, we will briefly discuss how edge computing can be used to improve sustainability and which factors have made edge computing cheaper and easier. What is Edge Computing? Edge computing is a distributed information technology (IT) architecture in which client data processing occurs as close to the originating source as possible at the network’s periphery. Simply put, it is a matter of location. Here, data production occurs at a client endpoint in traditional enterprise computing. For example, consider a user’s computer. In this case, the data transfer occurs across a WAN, such as the internet, using the corporate LAN, where the enterprise application stores and processes it. The results of that work are then communicated back to the client endpoint. For most common business applications, this is still a tried-and-true approach to client-server computing. Let us see how can edge computing be used to improve sustainability. How can Edge Computing be Used to Improve Sustainability? In recent years, cloud computing has become popular, with numerous businesses migrating to cloud platforms. However, its rapid growth has …
