Edge computing is a technology approach where data processing happens close to the data source—like IoT devices, sensors, or local servers—instead of sending all data to a central cloud or data center. This reduces latency, saves bandwidth, and allows real-time data handling.
Role of Edge Computing Software
Edge computing software enables devices at the network’s edge to perform tasks such as data collection, processing, analysis, and decision-making. It manages:
Data filtering and aggregation before sending to the cloud.
Real-time analytics for instant insights.
Device management and security.
Communication between edge devices and central systems.
