Edge computing is a distributed computing model that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. More broadly, it refers to any design that pushes computation physically closer to a user, so as to reduce the latency compared to when an application runs on a centralized data center.
Facts
Origin YearSource dates the term only to the decade of the 1990s, not a single year; 1990 recorded as a circa anchor for the start of that decade. Core ConcernMoving computation and data storage physically closer to where data is generated, to cut latency compared with a centralized data center. 1 Connections
