Edge analytics
Post evolution and IOT revolution, edge analytics are another significant game changer. If you look at IOT applications, the data from the sensors and devices needs to be collated and travels all the way to the distributed processing unit, which is either on the premises or on the cloud. This lift and shift of data leads to significant network utilization; it makes the overall solution latent to transmission delays.
These considerations led to the development of a new kind of solution and in turn a new arena of IOT computations — the term is edge analytics and, as the name suggests, it's all about pushing the processing to the edge, so that the data is processed at its source.
The following figure shows the bifurcation of IOT ...
