EDGE COMPUTING: BENEFITS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR MSPS

Today’s managed service providers (MSPs)

face unprecedented opportunities and

challenges.

INTRODUCTION



DEFINEDThe term edge computing stems from network architecture

diagrams, in which the edge of the diagram is the point at which

protocols for transporting data may change. Unlike with

traditional cloud computing or data center models, in which

data enters from the “edge” and must travel to the “center”

and back, edge computing architectures process information

at the periphery of the network, at or near the point of origin.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Instead of automatically sending all information to the fog node, devices in an edge computing architecture can determine what information should be stored and processed locally and what should be sent to a local node or the cloud for further use.

Why Edge Computing?

Because Closer to Market Is Better

and security.



79% of IT teams feel that having customers closer to their content is the most important benefit of a data center.

Over 80%of IT teams want their data centers to be more available and reliable to keep pace with the IoT.

Power, scalability, and location are the top three data center attributes for meeting application requirements according to IT teams.
