Edge Computing

This type of computing makes it possible for devices in remote locations to process data at the edge of the network. This means that it brings computation and storage facilities to the data sources. Edge computing reduces latency which can be said to be the delay in network communication and it also improves the user experience as it brings processing power closer to the user.

Unlike data centers edge computing does not only allow for the reduction in latency but edge computing are not climate-controlled despite requiring significant processing power. There are challenges associated with this distributed computing model that will be further discussed below.

Cloud Computing

The cloud computing is a distributed computing model that that delivers computing services to it users; these services includes servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and intelligence over the internet which is referred to as the cloud. In order terms, it is the on-demand access of computing resources.

This computing model drives faster innovation, flexible resources and also economies of scale mainly because you only pay for services that is being utilized. This leads to a significant reduction in operating cost and also allows for more efficiency and scalabilty as time goes by.
