A New Dawn of Network Edge Processing for IoT Devices

In this IDC Perspective, the roles of edge processing for faster adoption of IoT devices in a longer run are discussed. Leveraging edge IoT and analytics can offer a potent solution for converting intricate data sources into an efficient, cost-effective platform that yields faster returns on investment and greater value. The emergence of edge computing has been greatly influenced by the desire to decrease latency and increase resilience. The function of the network is now becoming even more crucial because of the development of IoT and the move toward more IT infrastructure at the edge, with an emphasis on wired and wireless networks and aspects such as speed, capacity, bandwidth, throughput, resilience, and decreased latency. Real-time data processing at edge allows the organizations to generate insights relevant to their business decision, thereby helping in real-time decision-making processes."The edge infrastructure requires a cooperative strategy in which different service providers, such as network providers, security services, hardware providers, 5G service providers, and so forth, join forces to give excellent service to their clients. The business has to implement organic integration and build an ecosystem that benefits all market participants. The development of appropriate use cases will be aided by a collaborative environment, which will also see to their execution," says Piyush Singh, senior research analyst, Telco and IoT Insights, IDC Asia/Pacific.
