“In edge computing, data, networking, storage, and computing are distributed throughout layers of edge computing nodes from IoT devices to the data center — distributing the economies of scale of cloud capabilities throughout the system,” said Chuck Byers, co-chair, IIC Distributed Computing Task Group, and associate CTO of IIC. “The migration of cloud capabilities into the edge allows data, storage, and computation to gravitate to where it can be handled most efficiently, whether in a data center or the edge.”
