What is Edge Computing?
Edge Computing is that technology, which bring both computation and Data Storage closer to the IoT device, where data can be gathered. As per IoT devices connections are increased, Edge Computing is developed to store the data of IoT device during the operations of Data Transferring.
How does Edge Computing Works?
Edge computing first collect data and process the information, it relies on Internet servers, computing devices and machinery sensors to collect the data and send it to the edge server or the cloud. Some of the data might get the analytics through machine learning process. As most of data calculations done in
the cloud or the datacenter. Although, increased number of IoT devices leads to edge model, for that it need to install the edge server or Gateway devices, which can reduce the time for computing tasks. Also, through edge server and gateway devices the infrastructure connects with it.
These Infrastructures are located in several locations, so it is connected via servers. There are several ways to process data, instead of Edge Servers. Mobile edge computing works over wireless channel and connect other channel, after transferring the data with each other. 'Fog Computing' is mainly used for Mobile edge computing works.
So, the IT planner is moving focus from the central or tradition data centre to that place, where the data is generated. The simple principal is followed by the edge computing is : "If you can't get the data closer to the data centre, get the data centre closer to the data".
With help of IoT devices and sensors, people can get the real-time updates regarding temperature and live incidents. Foe example, IoT devices track traffic patterns and Motion sensors can detect when the earthquake has occurred to give the warning to people regarding the current situation.
Edge Network
"Edge Network" which is distributed computing paradigm, which bring both Computation and Data Storage close to the point of request to deliver low latency and save bandwidth.
Edge network brings Data storage and computation closer to the point, therefore it reducing the strain on data centers. Network edge routers and branch routers are placed at the boundary of network, which receive and send data between Internal and External network through Ethernet. Moving closer to the Network Edge can improve transfer rates and response times.
Edge Devices
Edge devices exists as Hardware, which control the data flow at boundary between two networks. Edge devices have multiple functions like Routing, Transmission, Processing, Filtering and Translation of data. Edge Devices mainly use for Network serving. Edge devices are mainly used by Service Providers, students prefer less of using this edge devices.
IoT and Cloud Computing accompany with Edge Devices. Edge Computing is mainly that processes are decentralised and occur in more logical physical location.
Below are the mentioned Edge Device :
- Wi-Fi
- NFC
- Ethernet
- Bluetooth Low Energy
- Zigbee
- Z-Wave
- Cellular network
Edge Computing VS Cloud Computing
- Edge computing is based on location at the edge of the network, It has various locations along with software and Hardware.
- Edge Computing is running upon workloads the edge devices.
- It process the Time-sensitive Data.
- Edge Computing is beneficial in specialising devices as well intelligence device.
- Cloud Computing is entirely Virtual Environment, which is created by Datacenters.
- Cloud Computing is running upon workloads in a cloud.
- It process the data, which is not based on Time-driven.
- Cloud Computing is less preferred in remote locations, where the connectivity is slow.
