Introduction to Edge Computing
5
- Edge computing is an IT deployment designed to put applications and data as close as possible to the
users or “things” that need them.
- Edge computing is a distributed computing model that situates computing and storage closer to
the edge device where resources are needed and latency is a challenge.

Why Edge over Cloud?
6
- Edge computing is necessary to address shortcomings in cloud-based
applications and services with respect to performance and regulatory requirements.
- The trend toward digitization to improve efficiency and business performance is
fueling demand for applications that require peak performance, particularly Internet
of Things (IoT) applications.
- IoT applications often require lots of bandwidth, low latency, and reliable
performance while meeting regulatory and compliance mandates, making them
classic candidates for the edge.
