The role of edge computing security in enterprise networks
Edge computing creates a distributed infrastructure with centralized management and lights-out — or remote — operations built on private cloud infrastructure. Edge computing infrastructure can provide storage and compute to enable application responses with ultra-low latency or data aggregation points, which can help optimize use of central storage.
The spread of IoT applications drives enterprise interest in the edge. These applications include real-time control of high-speed manufacturing, which can require both a sub-millisecond response time and a need for massive data analysis.
