Edge Network
An Edge Network refers to a distributed computing framework that brings data processing and storage closer to the location where it is needed. This setup reduces latency, improves speed, and enhances the performance of applications by minimizing the distance data must travel. It is particularly useful for services that require real-time data processing, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and content delivery networks (CDNs).
By placing resources at the "edge" of the network, closer to users, organizations can efficiently manage bandwidth and reduce the load on central servers. This architecture supports various applications, including smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and augmented reality, enabling faster responses and better user experiences.
