Edge computing has emerged as a key technology for improving the efficiency of distributed computing devices. It refers to processing of data at local network or edge of the network to reduce latency and improve performance. The edge computing device is capable of processing the data generated at the edge before communicating it with the cloud platforms. Increased investment in IoT infrastructure development has resulted in significant rise in the number of computing devices across the globe. This has increased the pressure on the cloud processing platforms and has created demand for high bandwidth networks. A significant number of small and medium enterprises have moved their operations to cloud owing to reduced physical infrastructure requirement and associated cost. However, the problems associated with data latency and increased cost of network bandwidth is leading these companies towards edge computing. With expanding network of IoT devices owing to proliferation of IoT in industrial, commercial and residential applications, the edge computing market is expected to witness prominent growth during the forecast period.
