Reduces latency<\/h3>\n<p>Edge computing leverages data on the same local network as the devices that generate it, cutting down on edge data transmissions over the WAN or Internet. Reducing the number of network hops between devices and applications significantly decreases latency, improving the speed and performance of business intelligence apps, <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/using-aiops-and-machine-learning-to-manage-automated-network-infrastructure-zs\/\">AIOps<\/a>, equipment health analytics, and other solutions that use edge data.<\/p>\n<p>Some edge applications run on the devices themselves, completely eliminating network hops and facilitating real-time, lag-free analysis. For example, an AI-powered surveillance application installed on an IoT security camera at a walk-up ATM can analyze video feeds in real-time and alert security personnel to suspicious activity as it occurs.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-left: 0pt;\" align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border: none; border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 0pt;\">\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle; background-color: #008aab; padding: 5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word; border: solid #008aab 1pt;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; color: #ffffff; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><b>Read more examples of how edge computing improves performance in our guide to the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/applications-of-edge-computing-zs\/\"><b>Applications of Edge Computing<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>2. Mitigates risk<\/h3>\n<p>Edge computing mitigates security and compliance risks by distributing an organization\u2019s sensitive data and reducing off-site transmission. Large, centralized data stores in the cloud or data center are prime targets for cybercriminals because the sheer volume of data involved increases the chances of finding something valuable. Decentralizing data in much smaller edge storage solutions makes it harder for hackers to find the most sensitive information and also limits how much data they can access at one time.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping data at the edge also reduces the chances of interception in transit to cloud or data center storage. Plus, unlike in the cloud, an organization maintains complete control over who and what has access to sensitive data, aiding in compliance with regulations like the GDPR and <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/pci-dss-4-point-0-requirements-zs\/\">PCI DSS 4.0<\/a>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-left: 0pt;\" align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border: none; border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 0pt;\">\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle; background-color: #008aab; padding: 5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word; border: solid #008aab 1pt;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; color: #ffffff; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><b>To learn how to protect edge data and computing resources, read <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/edge-security-solutions-zs\"><b>Comparing Edge Security Solutions<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>3. Lowers bandwidth costs<\/h3>\n<p>Many organizations use MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) links to securely connect edge sites to the enterprise network. MPLS bandwidth is much more expensive than regular Internet lines, which makes transmitting edge data to centralized data processing applications extremely costly. Plus, it can take months to provision MPLS at a new site, delaying launches and driving up overhead expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Edge computing significantly reduces MPLS bandwidth utilization by running data-hungry applications on the local network, reserving the WAN for other essential traffic. Combining edge computing with <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/sd-wan-management-zs\/\">SD-WAN<\/a> (software-defined wide area networking) and <a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/resources\/what-is-sase-network-security-a-beginners-guide-zs\/\">SASE<\/a> (secure access service edge) technologies can markedly decrease the reliance on MPLS links, allowing organizations to accelerate branch openings and see faster edge ROIs.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-left: 0pt;\" align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border: none; border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 0pt;\">\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle; background-color: #008aab; padding: 5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word; border: solid #008aab 1pt;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; color: #ffffff; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><b>Learn more about cost-effective edge deployments in our <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/edge-computing-architecture-zs\/\"><b>Edge Computing Architecture Guide<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>4. Enhances edge resilience<\/h3>\n<p>Since edge computing applications run on the same LAN as the devices generating data, they can continue to function even if the site loses Internet access due to an ISP outage, natural disaster, or other adverse event. This also allows uninterrupted edge operations in locations with inconsistent (or no) Internet coverage, like offshore oil rigs, agricultural sites, and health clinics in isolated rural communities. Edge computing ensures that organizations don\u2019t miss any vital health or safety alerts and facilitates technological innovation using AI and other data analytics tools in challenging environments.<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-left: 0pt;\" align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border: none; border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 0pt;\">\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle; background-color: #008aab; padding: 5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word; border: solid #008aab 1pt;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; color: #ffffff; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><b>For more information on operational resilience, read <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/network-resilience-zs\/\"><b>Network Resilience: What is a Resilience System?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>5. Enables real-time insights<\/h3>\n<p>Sending data from the edge to a cloud or on-premises data lake for processing, transformation, and ingestion by analytics or AI\/ML tools takes time, preventing companies from acting on insights at the moment when they\u2019re most useful. Edge computing applications start using data as soon as it\u2019s generated, so organizations can extract value from it right away. For example, a retail store can use edge computing to gain actionable insights on purchasing activity and customer behavior in real-time, so they can move in-demand products to aisle endcaps or staff extra cashiers as needed.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-left: 0pt;\" align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border: none; border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 0pt;\">\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle; background-color: #008aab; padding: 5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word; border: solid #008aab 1pt;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; color: #ffffff; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><b>To learn more about the potential uses of edge computing technology, read <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/edge-computing-examples-zs\/\"><b>Edge Computing Examples<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Simplify your edge computing deployment with Nodegrid<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to achieve the benefits of edge computing described above without increasing management complexity or hardware overhead is to use consolidated, vendor-neutral solutions to host, connect, and secure edge workloads.
