Today’s corporate network extends far beyond the four walls of an office building. The exponential rise in remote work, connected devices, and non-traditional workspaces all contribute to a more complex network infrastructure with higher volumes of data and more areas of vulnerability. To keep pace with the evolution in work habits and workspaces, businesses must also shift how they approach connectivity.
Edge computing allows the data from remote workers, kiosks, and smart devices to be stored, processed, and analyzed near the client where the data is generated, instead of sending massive amounts of data back to the cloud for processing. Businesses can save time, bandwidth, and costs when data analysis takes place on a user’s device at the edge of the network.
