Will Edge Computing Transform IoT as Cloud Computing Transformed Enterprise IT?

Edge computing works by selectively moving cloud-compute processing from cloud data centers to edge and end node processing platforms. Edge computing also helps to guarantee user’s privacy and security by sanitizing traffic to the Cloud, filtering personally identifiable information where necessary.

 

Edge computing systems often operate over public networks, consequently they require integration of both wired and wireless network connectivity and importantly, they require being built with a hardware root of trust. Hardware root of trust is an approach to computing where the processing of security algorithms as well as key and certificate storage are performed in trusted hardware. Hardware-based trust systems are much more robust than software-based systems against cyber-attacks seeking to compromise software-based systems.

 

So, what do you think: Will Edge Computing Transform IoT as Cloud Computing Transformed Enterprise IT?

 

(If you aren't sure, then please join me as I host our first (of many) edge computing webinars: IoT Webinar: Computing at the Edge - When, Why and How )

    Now there is AI that will start out in the cloud, but will eventually spawn personal systems....both are scary.

    Some of technology comes and goes as the tide in the ocean. Same here.

    It's a very broad definition of edge compute that they (Leica) referred to I thought, but then I saw this video and a vision of what more it could be used for theoretically:

    Just goes to show how compelling it could be to have a mix of local compute and cloud compute, to map the world in 3D - not really enterprise edge compute, but still interesting : )

    There was a story somewhere where the cause of vast amounts of network traffic on a business/educational network, was traced to the vending machines.

    So I can see Edge Computing also doing double duty as a firewall to keep problems from getting into the network, not just data leaking out.

    We have cloud based computing at work, where the email is held somewhere in Australia.

    It's a right PITA as the connection to the server will stop, take ages to connect, and is just not worth it.

     

    I fully understand having redundancy in times of emergency, but surely this can be done in parallel with a localised server doing the delivering and mirroring the content.

     

    Mainframes and terminals were because the horsepower to drive the programs just wasn't there, and it was not as GUI intensive as it is now.

    Data transmission wasn't available like it is now ... when I first started at NZ Post Office we had 960 voice channels (with some data on top) or the entire country, but it stopped and started at 4 or 6 major centres so in theory you could handle more.

    It was an unbelievable upgrade to double that with an overlay and then fibre came along ....

    Just taking an example of Ultra69. The answer is pretty clear.

    It is a cycle...

    First there were mainframes and terminals - central control

    Then there were PCs - decentralization

    Then there were severs and nodes - centralization

    Then there were smart phones and tablets - decentralization

    Then there was cloud computing - centralization

    Now there is edge computing - decentralization

    It seems there will always be new technology that power brokers develop and exploit to control centrally and then the technology gets cheap enough and public enough that they lose control to individuals who always want their own control. Then the cycle repeats.

    Probably the next wave will have big data swing it back to central control for a while.

    I don't know if I prefer the cycle to continue or the two phases to coalesce, but I think it would be bad if either phase dominates. (the matrix or anarchy)
