This document discusses edge computing and cloud computing beyond traditional data centers. It describes how edge computing distributes computing, storage and applications away from centralized points to the logical extremes of a network. This allows for more distributed and localized processing of data, with the goal of improving response times and bandwidth usage for applications and use cases that require low latency and real-time responsiveness. Edge computing helps enable applications in areas like industrial automation, smart cities and autonomous vehicles that need rapid access to data with minimal delays.
