The value of edge computing and the Oracle IoT cloud service

A term you currently see coming up is edge computing, edge computing is the model where you push computations and intelligence to the edge of the network or the edge of the cloud. Or, in the words of techtarget.com ; “ Edge computing is a distributed information technology (IT) architecture in which client data is processed at the periphery of the network, as close to the originating source as possible. The move toward edge computing is driven by mobile computing, the decreasing cost of computer components and the sheer number of networked devices in the internet of things (IoT).”

Analysts state that edge computing is a technology trend with a medium business impact which we will see surfacing in 2017. On how you can leverage the concept of edge computing in combination with MQTT and the Oracle IoT Cloud Service you can have a read on my personal blog. This will outline how MQTT can be used to make the most of edge computing and make your end-2-end solution faster and more reliable.
