It has received increased investment thanks to connected devices like factory robots or autonomous vehicles. It complement's cloud computing by solving issues of latency, bandwidth, autonomy, or compliance. This article is part of a series about cloud technology called At Cloud Speed. As technologies like autonomous vehicles, factory robots, and remote monitoring systems become more commonplace, a concept called edge computing is receiving increased attention and investment. Edge computing refers to a model in which processing power is placed closer to where data is being created in the physical world: While cloud computing platforms like Amazon Web Services are hosted from the retailer's own massive data centers scattered across the world, edge computing focuses on smartening up the car, robot, or other systems right on the device or placing a processor in closer proximity.
