Well, it’s all seems to be coming back around with the implementation of a new, emerging technology called Edge Computing.
Think of edge computing is what will cure the latency issues in cloud data storage by being closer to where the data is. By this I mean, when your data is stored in cloud servers it could be stored far away from where you’re at, making it less accessible in a short amount of time (relatively speaking). Being that data is the number one priority to companies in 2019, getting that data fast runs parallel to it as far as the importance of the actual information. How do we cure this with edge computing? We put “data centers” closer to where people are recording the information. Imagine having mini data centers that would receive the information closer than a cloud storage facility, then processing the information that is more of a priority than others, then sending that to the cloud facility. Edge computing data centers would be acting more as middle men between the data creators (the clients) and the data storage facilities (the cloud companies tasked with storing information), giving it an extra punch by adding on some semblance of A.I. that can process the information for the important stuff. By being able to access this information that could help a Denver web design company grow, we’ll be able to move faster on opportunities that would take more time in the past to realize.
With data being the leading resource for companies these days, edge computing is an all but necessary function for data processing. We need our information and the quicker we can get it to make business decisions, the happier we are. In turn, this will help the large cloud storage companies boost their sales and capabilities so from the outside looking in, it looks like edge computing will be a win-win situation for all businesses.
