The Edge Completes the Cloud

Analysts: Bob Gill, David Smith

Edge computing addresses the limitations of centralized computing (such as latency, bandwidth, data privacy and autonomy) by moving processing closer to the source of data generation, “things” and users.

In this research, we explore:

• The potential for edge computing
• What edge computing is and which technologies help shape it
• Whether enterprises are ready for edge computing
• How the edge and the cloud will evolve together

We also highlight relevant research to define edge computing, discussing its benefits and synergies with the Internet of Things, and how the edge fosters new thinking about application architectures and network design.
