The Power of Edge Computing: What it is and Why it Matters?
summary
Claims that moving processing from distant cloud regions to nearby edge data centers cuts round‑trip time dramatically, shown with latency graphs comparing US and India where the purple (edge) line sits far below the blue (central cloud) line. Describes architectures: edge devices (IoT sensors, cameras) feeding local compute, only aggregates back to central stores, and argues tradeoffs — when data volume, sensitivity, or heavy analytics favor centralized cloud versus when real‑time processing and low latency demand edge.
