Network edge

Intel® Xeon® D Processors Edge servers bring powerful data processing, analytics, and AI capabilities closer to the point of data generation . Intel® Xeon® D processors deliver the high performance and reliability needed to accelerate compute, storage, memory, and networking at the edge.

Edge computing (or IoT edge processing) refers to taking action on data as near to the source as possible rather than in a central, remote data center, to reduce latency and bandwidth use .

An edge service is a component which is exposed to the public internet . It acts as a gateway to all other services, which we will refer to as platform services. For example, consider an Nginx reverse proxy in front of some web resource servers.

Edge computing is a distributed information technology (IT) architecture in which client data is processed at the periphery of the network, as close to the originating source as possible .

Why is Edge Computing Important? Edge computing is important because it creates new and improved ways for industrial and enterprise-level businesses to maximize operational efficiency, improve performance and safety, automate all core business processes, and ensure “always on” availability.

Edge computing takes place in intelligent devices — right at the location where sensors and other instruments are gathering and processing data — to expedite that processing before devices connect to the Internet of Things (IoT) and send the data on for further use by enterprise applications and personnel.
