From Centralized to Decentralized Computing: The Evolution of Edge Computing
Edge computing is an emerging technology that enables data processing and analysis closer to the source of data generation, rather than relying on centralized cloud computing services. It has gained increasing attention in recent years due to the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the need for real-time data processing and analysis. In this blog, we will discuss the evolution of edge computing from centralized computing to decentralized computing. Centralized Computing Traditional computing systems relied heavily on centralized computing, where all data processing and analysis was done in a centralized location, such as data centers. This approach worked well for many years, but as data generation and storage requirements grew, centralized computing systems became less efficient and more costly. Centralized computing systems require high-bandwidth connections and are often located far away from the data source, leading to latency issues. Decentralized Computing De...
