The term "advanced computing" may sound like another buzzword, but respected research firm Gartner believes that advanced computing is fast becoming the industry standard. The world is getting faster and our need for real-time data processing is also increasing. The importance of advanced computing should not be underestimated. smoothtechi
So what is Edge?
Edge computing is solutions that make it easier to process
data at or near the data generation source. For example, in the context of the
Internet of Things (IoT), data generation sources are often objects with
embedded sensors or devices. Edge computing serves as a decentralized extension
of campus networks, cellular networks, data center networks, or the cloud.
In the newsletter, we share the findings of a Gartner study
that boldly claims that “the edge will eat the cloud” and that “IT architecture
will turn upside down as data and content moves from the centralized cloud and
data centers to the edge. pulling computation and storage from It. “Gartner
predicts that as demand for greater immersion and responsiveness grows, so will
advanced computing. "High performance computing provides processing,
storage and services for things and people away from centralized cores and
physically close to things and people."

edge computing here.
The first standalone feature that Edge provides also fixes
issues like; latency, bandwidth, autonomy and security. For example, when asked
about devices like Alexa or Google Home, there is an almost imperceptible lag
as data is pulled from the cloud and sent to the user. A scenario that becomes
dangerous when applied to other emerging technologies.
Gartner analyzes: “For an autonomous vehicle traveling at 70
mph, 100 ms equals 10 feet. But if we have two autonomous cars, or two dozen,
driving to the same place, 100ms is forever. A lot can happen in a few
milliseconds - life can be in jeopardy. “The cloud just can't keep up.
This Gartner study also discusses the importance of
cutting-edge computing as the Internet of Things continues to grow rapidly.
“More and more physical objects are networked and contain embedded technologies
that allow you to communicate, feel or interact with their internal state or
external environment. By 2020, there will be 20 billion “things” connected to
the Internet. Gartner says, "A more interactive and immersive
human-machine interface will force data and computing to physically connect and
live in peace with humans."
