Introduction
We often hear about infrastructure, network architectures, edge computing, and sometimes in connection with the Internet of Things (IoT). One could even say they go hand in hand. Their common point? They play a crucial role in connectivity and data management in the modern world.
Infrastructure and Networks
Infrastructure and networks form the basis of all IT connectivity. Their role is to enable efficient data transmission between different devices and systems. They provide the foundations on which all IT technologies rest, including IoT and Edge Computing.
Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT involves connecting various devices and physical objects, enabling them to collect and exchange data. These devices can be sensors, industrial equipment, etc. IoT's role is to collect real-time information from these objects for later analysis, process automation, or interactions with their users.
Edge Computing
Edge Computing involves processing data near its generation source rather than sending it to distant infrastructure (datacenter, etc.). This reduces the latency and bandwidth needed to process data, which is a major point for real-time applications and distributed systems. IoT devices often generate large amounts of data, and Edge Computing enables processing this data locally, on the device or nearby, before sending it to remote data centers for further processing.
