Create a Faster, Smarter, More Connected World

Billions of IoT sensors—in retail stores, on city streets, on warehouse floors, in hospitals—are generating massive amounts of data. Tapping into faster insights from that data can mean improved services, streamlined operations, and even saves lives. But to do this, enterprises need to drive decisions in real time, and that means taking their AI compute to where the data is, the network’s edge.

What Is Edge Computing?

At the edge, IoT and mobile devices use embedded processors to collect data. Edge computing takes the power of AI directly to those devices and processes the captured data at its source—instead of in the cloud or data center. This accelerates the AI pipeline to power real-time decision-making where it’s needed.  

Lower Latency

Lower Latency

Processing data at the point of action means data travel is reduced or eliminated, accelerating AI.

Improved Security

Improved Security

When sensitive data is processed locally, it doesn’t need to be sent to the cloud so it’s better protected.

Reduced Cost

Reduced Cost

Sending data to the cloud demands bandwidth and storage. Local processing lowers those costs.

Wider Reach

Wider Reach

Edge computing occurs locally without the need for internet access. That expands the places AI can go.

Frequently Asked Questions

  •

    What’s the difference between edge computing and cloud computing?

    Edge computing is computing done at or near the source of data, allowing for the real-time processing of data that’s preferred for intelligent infrastructure. Cloud computing is done within the cloud. This type of computing is highly flexible and scalable, making it ideal for customers who want to get started quickly or those that have varying usage.  Both computing models have distinct advantages, which is why many organizations will look to a hybrid approach to computing.

  •

    Why should I use edge computing?

    Edge computing offers benefits such as lower latency, higher bandwidth, and data sovereignty compared to traditional cloud or data center computing. Many organizations are looking for real-time intelligence from AI applications. For example, self-driving cars, autonomous machines in factories, and industrial inspection all present a serious safety concern if they can’t act quickly enough—in real time—on the data they ingest. 

  • Who’s taking advantage of edge computing?

    Edge computing is not limited to any industry or application. Organizations across every industry are leveraging edge computing to accelerate their applications and take advantage of the benefits of AI at the edge. Examples include smart shopping experiences in retail, intelligent infrastructure in smart cities, and automation of industrial manufacturing.
