Edge computing architecture brings data processing closer to the data source or “edge” of the network, reducing latency and optimizing bandwidth. Unlike traditional cloud computing, where data is sent to centralized data centers, edge computing enables faster responses by processing data locally on edge devices or nearby servers.
This architecture supports real-time applications like IoT, autonomous vehicles, and smart city infrastructures, where rapid data analysis is critical. Edge computing reduces the load on central servers, enhances security by keeping sensitive data local, and offers scalable solutions for industries requiring low-latency and high-reliability operations across distributed environments.
