EDGE COMPUTING: BENEFITS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR MSPS
DEFINEDThe term edge computing stems from network architecture
diagrams, in which the edge of the diagram is the point at which
protocols for transporting data may change. Unlike with
traditional cloud computing or data center models, in which
data enters from the “edge” and must travel to the “center”
and back, edge computing architectures process information
at the periphery of the network, at or near the point of origin.

EDGE COMPUTING: BENEFITS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR MSPS
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Instead of automatically sending all information to the fog node, devices in an edge computing architecture can determine what information should be stored and processed locally and what should be sent to a local node or the cloud for further use.
Why Edge Computing?
Because Closer to Market Is Better
Consumers expect to have their content on demand anywhere at any time.

79% of IT teams feel that having customers closer to their content is the most important benefit of a data center.
Over 80%of IT teams want their data centers to be more available and reliable to keep pace with the IoT.
Power, scalability, and location are the top three data center attributes for meeting application requirements according to IT teams.
