 The 1st known introduction of edge Computing traces back to the 1990s When Akami Technologies launched a Content delivery network or CDN, the goal was to introduce Computing nodes close (geographically) to users for faster delivery. As the name describes, “Edge Computing” is the computing that occurs at the edge of the cloud computing Hierarchy i.e., Geographically Closer to the user. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) architecture with the help of 5G technology allows the placement of computational and storage resources within the RAN (radio access network). This increases work efficiency and decreases the time required to complete a task. Advantages of Edge Computing are observed on a wide scale throughout the IT industry, the foremost advantage includes improved speeds, reduced latency, better security, fair protection of privacy, reliability, resiliency, capital saving/cost savings, and wide scalability. The large-scale impact of Edge Computing is observed in our daily life such as smart assistants, smart wearables, and other services related to our daily lives. This deep-rooted network of small devices to large Industrial machinery is getting more efficient and making life effortless. In this data-driven operating world where lightning-fast results with a high level of flexibility edge computing is a viable solution depending on the current state of things.
