Edge computing was considered a futuristic concept – something that was attractive to talk about but lacked practical world examples. This has ceased to be the truth! Amidst spiraling numbers of COVID-19 cases, organisations are relooking their operational structures, to meet the new challenges that the second wave has brought about. As remote working has once again become a buzzword, paving the way for cloud enabled technologies to shape the new normal. At the same time, the cloud is gaining momentum, and enterprises are frantically looking for ways to optimize their network, storage and agility, edge computing has turned out to be the perfect solution.

Edge computing” is a type of distributed architecture in which data processing occurs close to the source of data, i.e., at the “edge” of the system. With the growing number of IoT devices along with connected automotive and industrial applications; latency, privacy, and bandwidth become critical limiting factors and edge computing solves this by bringing the intelligence closer to the source. Edge computing represents a crucial investment for any smart city in order to really reap the benefits of a next-generation IoT network. Its prime feature comprises closer proximity between data storage and processing which can be leveraged in enhancing the data management and processing for smart cities. Edge computing has emerged as the viable architecture as it supports distributed computing to deploy compute and storage resources closer to the data source.
