Beyond Cloud: Distributed Power (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783384222060)

Cloud computing revolutionized access to computing power, but latency - the time for data to travel - limits its potential for real-time applications. Enter edge computing, a distributed approach that brings processing closer to the data source, like sensors and devices. Imagine a surgeon performing a remote operation. Decisions need to be made instantly. Cloud processing wouldn't be fast enough. Edge computing on the surgical equipment itself enables real-time analysis and reaction. Cloud and edge aren't rivals; they're a powerful team. The cloud excels at storing and analyzing vast amounts of data, while the edge handles time-sensitive tasks. Together, they create a responsive computing ecosystem. This "cloud-to-edge" shift is driven by the Internet of Things (IoT), where billions of devices generate real-time data. By harnessing both, we unlock the potential for applications like autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, and remote healthcare, pushing computing beyond the cloud and into the realm of real-time.
