The contemporary information technology (IT) landscape is characterised by an exponential growth in data generation, primarily occurring at the network’s edge. This surge poses a challenge to traditional, centralised computing architectures. Distributed systems, specifically, grapple with latency issues, bandwidth limitations, and security concerns that hinder real-time decision-making and optimal performance.
In this context, edge computing emerges as a transformative force, strategically deploying processing power and intelligence closer to the source of data itself.
