How AI is enabling Edge Computingedit
AI has become a major player in the market for adoption of edge computing. The edge computing layer was originally only meant to deliver lower compute, storage and processing capabilities to IoT deployments. Furthermore, sensitive data that could not be sent to the cloud for analysis and processing is also handled at the edge. Another added benefit of this approach is the reduction in latency from a roundtrip to the cloud. A faster response time allows for aggressive filtering of data at the edge and also significantly saves any additional costs on cloud storage and bandwidth.
