Introduction to Edge Computing
Edge computing architecture is designed to process data at the edge of a network, closer to the source of the data. The goal of edge computing is to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred to centralized data centers or the cloud, which reduces latency and improves performance. The architecture of edge computing is composed of three layers: the device layer, the edge layer, and the cloud layer.
The device layer is the physical layer of edge computing, which includes sensors, actuators, and other devices that collect and process data. The data collected by these devices is then sent to the edge layer for processing.
The edge layer is the layer that processes data at the edge of the network. This layer includes edge devices, such as gateways and routers, that are responsible for filtering, analyzing, and processing data in real-time. The edge layer is also responsible for managing and securing edge devices and ensuring that they are connected to the cloud layer.
The cloud layer is the layer that provides centralized storage and processing for the data that is collected by the edge layer. The cloud layer is responsible for storing and analyzing large amounts of data and providing insights and predictions based on that data. The cloud layer also provides services such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to the edge layer, which can then be used to improve the performance of edge devices and applications.
Overall, the architecture of edge computing is designed to provide a distributed computing model that can process data more efficiently and effectively than traditional centralized computing models. By processing data at the edge of the network, edge computing can improve the performance and reliability of applications and reduce the cost and complexity of managing large amounts of data.
