27. Edge Computing is located between the cloud and the data sources. In
a factory, multiple sensors can aggregate data at the edge computer,
which is like a local cloud server, before transferring filtered data to a
business application located in the cloud. Edge computing can save
costs by reducing the bandwidth required for wireless transmissions.
