Edge computing can bring processing power to where it is required

Businesses are starting to see the value of doing work at the edge where the data is being generated and where it needs to be processed, and the edge is finding a vital niche, said information and communications technology services company iOCO divisional manager Craig Allen. The ever-growing amount of data and connected devices are pushing the need for greater storage, computing and network capacities closer to the endpoints. Not only does edge computing allow for lower latencies when it comes to the transmission of data, it creates the foundation for faster, more cost-effective operations.
