Business Considerations for Edge Computing

Overview

From cars that drive themselves to robots that restock warehouses and sensors that know when it’s time to water or fertilize crops, our world is changing before our eyes. This is digital transformation, encompassing the convergence of 5G, IoT, AI, machine learning, and the Edge.

Edge Computing is a decentralized computing model that focuses on real-time data processing and analysis near the network's edge, closest to the device or user. It is considered the most significant enterprise trend since Cloud Computing.

In this course, you will explore what Edge Computing is, the problems it solves, and its role in supporting the rise of 5G, AI, and IoT.

We’ll delve into data privacy and security considerations and share examples of business innovations driven by Edge Computing. Additionally, we’ll review influencers and open-source projects that are shaping the future of Edge and the hybrid computing landscape.
