The edge and the cloud are often seen as competing platforms, but they are inherently synergistic. They complement each other to help organizations understand and process data from all areas of the business.

Introducing edge computing only makes sense for organizations looking to build robust, scalable and secure IoT solutions.

Edge computing is a distributed open architecture that decentralizes the processing load. Instead of transmitting all the data collected at the edge of the network, devices process the data locally or closer to the data source, which helps to avoid serious latency problems.
