Cloud to Edge infrastructures are rapidly growing. It is expected that by 2025, up to 75% of all data generated will be created at the Edge. However, Edge is a tricky word and you’ll get a different definition depending on who you ask. The physical edge could be in a factory, retail store, hospital, car, plane, cell tower level, or on your mobile device. The network edge could be a top-of-rack switch, server running host-based networking, or 5G base station.
The Edge means putting servers, storage, and
other devices outside the core data center and closer to both the data sources
and the users of that data—both edge sources and edge users could be people or
machines.
