Get the business and technical foundation you need to create your edge computing strategy.
Edge Computing Technology and Applications includes:
What is edge computing and why does it matter to you?
Real-world consumer and enterprise use cases of edge computing
The hardware and software that drives edge and IoT systems
Edge security risks and how to counteract them
How to monetize edge systems
"Edge devices" include everything from smart phones to the countless internet connected appliances we interact with everywhere, every day. And to remain competitive, every business must have an edge computing strategy. Edge Computing Technology and Applications is the first step. This no-nonsense guide from veteran technologist Perry Lea slices through the buzzwords and reveals how edge computing affects your business and IT decisions, from hardware and software systems to the way you interact with customers, clients, and employees.
about the technology
Edge computing brings computing power and data storage closer to the devices and systems that need it. Edge devices perform tasks ranging from simple data retrieval to complex AI at the point of usage to deliver faster and more responsive applications. This insightful, experience-driven guide will help you get to the core of what you need to know about this groundbreaking technology.
Edge computing has extensions to the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G and cellular communication, Machine Learning, and Industry 4.0 (all buzzwords to their own extent). You purchased this book for clarity and guidance around this subject and are trying to determine how edge computing may fit into your organization or business. Above all, you want to know: “what is it and what can it do for me”. In short, there is a massive amount of data being generated in the world. Each year 20% more data is generated than the previous year. This makes sense with nearly everything being digital and interconnected.
Each edge application typically comes with bespoke hardware, IO, communication interfaces, and performance requirements. The same holds true for the software running on different edge machines. The architecture of edge systems also needs to consider the software environment running on the machine. An edge machine provides computational power in remote or mobile environments. Edge devices in many cases are also extensions of the cloud. Developers will want to have services and features typically found in managed cloud environments to also be present on edge devices. Some services like security should be minimum ante for any edge devices, others may not be necessary or required.
about the book
Edge Computing Technology and Applications introduces all aspects of edge computing. Illustrations and graphics help make complex topics easy to understand. If you’re a business decision maker, you’ll welcome the jargon-free explanations of key concepts. Technical pros will appreciate the big-picture coverage of the central technologies of edge computing. You’ll find essential coverage of the edge’s systems and architectures, as well as how to prevent embarrassing and crippling cyber attacks. Throughout, the book’s real-world use cases cut through the hype and reveal how edge computing is being effectively used in industry.
