INTRODUCTION
• Cloud computing has tremendously changed the way we live , work , and study
since it’s inception around 2005.

• Internet of Things(IoT) was introduced to the community in 1999 for Supply

chain management , and then the concept of “making a computer sense
information without the aid of human intervention” was widely adapted to
other fields such as healthcare, home, environment, and transports.

• Now with IoT , we will arrive in the post-cloud era , where there will be a large
quality of data generated by things that are immersed in our daily life, and a lot
of applications will also be deployed at the edge to consume these data.

• Some IoT applications might require short response time, some might involve
private data, and some might produce a large quantity of data which could be a
heavy load of networks.
HISTORY

• Late 1990s , Akami introduced CDN(computer

Delivery Networks)
• In 1997, Brain Nobel and his colleagues
implemented speech recognition on mobile.
• The term Cyber-foraging was introduced by
Mahadev Satyanarayana in 2001.
• In 2006, Cloud Computing was introduced by
Amazon Elastic Compute cloud services(EC2).
• In 2009, two-level architecture was introduced.
• In 2012, Fog computing was introduced.

Today we have Cloud and Edge Computing

complementing both worlds.
EVOLUTION OF
EDGE
• Cloud Computing refers to the On-demand IT services /
resources over the internet. By using Cloud Computing
users can access the services from anywhere whenever
they need.
• Nowadays massive amount of data is generated every
second around the globe , when lots of organizations
access their data simultaneously on the remote servers in
data centres , data traffic may occur.
• Data traffic can cause some delay in accessing the data ,
lower bandwidth etc.
• But cloud computing is alone is not effective enough to
store and process the data and respond quickly.
• To overcome such challenges Edge Computing was
introduced.

• FOG NODES : When edge computers sends huge

amount of data to the cloud , fog nodes receive data and
analyze what’s important. The fog nodes sends important
data to the cloud and deletes the unimportant data.
ARCHTECTURE
 The paradigm illustrates the two way computing streams ,
where the things not only data consumers , but also play as
data producers.

 At the edge , the things can not only request service and
content from the cloud but also perform the computing tasks
from the cloud.

 Edge can perform computing offloading ,data storage ,

caching and processing , as well as distribute request and
delivery service from cloud to user.
WHY DO WE NEED EDGE COMPUTING?
1. PUSH FROM CLOUD SERVICES : Putting all computing tasks on the cloud has been proved
to be an efficient way for data processing since the computing power outclasses the
capability of the things at the edge . If all the data needs to be sent to cloud for
processing , then response time would be too long. Therefore the data needs to be
processed at edge for shorter response , more efficient processing and smaller network
pressure.

2. PULL FROM IoT : Almost all kinds of electrical devices will become a part of IoT , and
they will play the role of data producers as well as consumers . The data produced by IoT
will never be transmitted to cloud , instead it will be consumed at the edge of the
network .

3. CHANGE FROM DATA CONSUMER TO PRODUCER : In the cloud computing paradigm , the
end devices at the edge usually play as data consumer . For Example : Watching YouTube
video on your smartphone.
BENEFITS OF EDGE
COMPUTING
1. SPEED : The best thing about Edge computing is
it is extremely fast . It delivers much faster response
time , that’s because locating key processing functions
closer to end users significantly reduces latency.

2. BANDWIDTH RELIEF : By keeping more data

on the network edge , the overall volume of traffic
flowing to and from central serves is reduced. That
frees up much needed bandwidth throughout the entire
system.

3. IMPROVED DATA MANAGEMENT : A well

designed edge computing network uses a combination
of local device and edge data centre resources to better
manage the data . Rather than transmitting all of the
4. BETTER SECURITY : Although edge computing expands overall network surface area and
increases the number of end points , it’s important for IoT devices to secure properly , the
distributed nature of edge networks makes them much more difficult to compromise . If a
breach occurs in one area , the compromised portions of the network can be cordoned of
without having to shut everything else.
5. IMPROVED REALIABILITY : Since edge computing architecture distributes processing
tasks throughout the network , it tends to be more resilient than more centralized systems.

“EDGE COMPUTING SOLUTIONS ALLOW SOME FUNCTIONS AND DATA

TO BE STORED LOCALLY AND ONLY SEND SOME OF IT TO CLOUD AND
WAIT TO DO SO WHEN BANDWIDTH IS AVAILABLE “
APPLICATIONS
• Autonomous vehicles operate with edge computing in many ways to reduce latency and
avoid bandwidth issues that would be present if those vehicles relied on the cloud for all
functions .

• Internet of Things sensors are critical to monitoring the safety and security of ,such as oila
and manufacturing . In case of equipment failure or maintenance needs that need attention ,
there's benefit using edge computing that allows data to be analyzed and reported on rea time

• Edge computing is used in medical monitoring systems to respond quickly in real-time

instead of waiting for a cloud server to act.

• In retail businesses , edge comping enables people to collect and analyze the data and find
business opportunities like sales prediction , optimizing vendors orders… etc.
CHALLENGES
1. LIMITED SCOPE : Implementing edge computing is effective , but its purpose and scope
are limited . This is one of the reason people are attracted to cloud .

2. NAMING : Similar to all computer systems , the naming scheme in edge computing is
very important for programming , addressing , things identification and data
communication . An efficient naming scheme for edge computing paradigm has not been
built and not standardized yet .

3. DATA ABSTRACTION : Data abstraction has well discussed and researched in wireless
sensor network and cloud computing paradigm, in edge computing this issue becomes
more challenging

4. SECURITY LOOPHOLES : With the increased usage of smart devices , the risk factor of
attackers compromising the devices increases.
EDGE VS CLOUD
Both Edge and cloud computing involve distributed computing and deployment of
storage and compute resources based on the data being produced .

1. DEPLOYMENT : Cloud computing deploys resources at global locations with high

scalability to run processes . It can include centralized computing closer to data
sources , but not at the network edge . On the other hand , edge computing deploys
resources where the data is generated .
2. CENTRAILIZATION \ DECENTRAILIZATION : Using centralization , the cloud
offers efficient and scalable resources with security and control . Edge computing is
decentralized and used to address those concerns and use cases that are not provided
in cloud computing’s centralization approach.
3. PROGRAMMING : App development in the cloud is suitable and utilizes one or
fewer programming languages . Edge computing may require different programming
languages to develop apps.
4. RESPONSE TIME : The average response time usually is more in cloud computing
rather than cloud computing .
5. BANDWIDTH : Cloud computing consumes more bandwidth and power due to the higher
distance between client and server , while edge requires comparatively lower bandwidth.
CURRENT PROVIDERS OF
EDGE
To deploy Edge computing quickly and easily in your businesses or enterprise , an edge
computing service provider is required .

Here are some notable edge computing providers :

1. AMAZON WEB SERVICES : AWS offers consistent experience with a cloud-edge model
and services for IoT , ML , AI ,analytics, robotics , storage and cloud computation .

2. DELL : Dell provides edge computing and it is great for digital cities , retailers ,
manufacturers and others.

3. CLEAR BLADE : Clear Blade released their Edge Native Intelligent Assets Application that
allows an edge maintainer to build alert devices and connect to IoT devices without coding.
CONCLUSION
• Edge computing can be an efficient , reliable , and cost saving option for modern
businesses .

• It’s also an excellent concept to support the remote work culture to facilitate faster data
processing and communication .

• Edge computing is a new trend in data processing , where the data is processed at the edge
of the network .

• The idea behind edge technology is to reduce latency and improve network efficiency .

• For instances , it can make real – time decision making and enables more efficient use of
bandwidth by reducing traffic between devices and servers .
