5 Benefits of Implementing Edge Computing

Paul Daigle • April 3, 2023

Edge computing is a distributed computing model that involves processing data locally on devices, rather than sending it to a centralized cloud or data center. This approach has many benefits over traditional cloud computing.

REDUCED LATENCY

One of the most significant benefits of edge computing is reduced latency. By processing data locally on devices, edge computing can reduce the time it takes for data to travel to a centralized cloud or data center and back again. This can be critical in applications that require real-time data processing, such as autonomous vehicles or industrial automation.


IMPROVED RELIABILITY

Edge computing can also improve the reliability of systems. By processing data locally, edge computing can ensure that systems continue to operate even if there is a disruption in connectivity to the cloud or data center. This can be important in applications like remote monitoring or predictive maintenance, where interruptions in data processing could have serious consequences.


INCREASED SECURITY

Edge computing can also improve the security of systems. By processing data locally, edge computing can reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network, reducing the risk of data breaches or cyber-attacks. This can be particularly important in sensitive applications like healthcare, finance, or defense.


REDUCED BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS

Edge computing can also reduce the bandwidth requirements of systems. By processing data locally, edge computing can reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to the cloud or data center, reducing the strain on network bandwidth. This can be important in applications that generate large amounts of data, such as IoT devices.


IMPROVED SCALABILITY

Finally, edge computing can improve the scalability of systems. By processing data locally, edge computing can reduce the load on centralized cloud or data center resources, making it easier to scale systems up or down as needed. This can be important in applications that require dynamic resource allocation, such as video streaming.
