What is the edge computing?
Edge may be understood to mean calculation using data sources close to the edge of the computation program bring completion. If a more general term that is expressed: near or close to the calculated calculation (Proximity Computing)
What is the difference between the edge computing and cloud computing is?
- In fact, if the cloud is large centralized data processing, edge computation can be understood as the edge of the big-data processing. But the difference is, only this time, the data do not have to spread to distant clouds, it can be solved at the edge.
- Edge computing is more suitable for real-time data analysis and intelligent processing, compared with pure cloud computing more efficient and safe! Both the edges and cloud computing in fact a way computationally processed data are running. Edge computing more accurate to say should be a complement and optimize the cloud!
- In short namely: Cloud computing grasp the whole, more focused local edge computing
Edge computing What are the characteristics of it?
Edge computing terms have the following characteristics:
-
Distributed computing and low latency
edge computation in real time focusing, short cycle analysis data can be better support intelligent processing and execution in real time local traffic. -
More efficient
since the edge closer to the user from the calculation, are used to filter and analyze the data at the edge node, and therefore more efficient. -
More intelligent
AI + edge computing attack combinations to make computing more than just edge computing, a more intelligent. -
More energy efficient
cloud computing and edge binding, alone only 39% of the cost of the cloud. -
Relieve the pressure flow rate
for simple data processing portion of the cloud during transmission through the edge node, the response time of the device can be reduced and thus, reduce the data traffic from the device to the cloud.
Edge computing can be used in place?
In fact, the edge may be used in calculating many scenarios.
The typical scenario involves CDN, vehicle networking (Internet of Things), intelligent security and starting the year 2018 popular block chain, such scenarios for the near field calculation there is a strong demand. Stage Amazon, Microsoft, Intel, etc., have started layout edge computing
When it comes to the edge of computing there is a very important concept must mention: MEC
