Over the past decade, cloud computing has become the cornerstone of enterprise IT architecture, driving profound changes in digital transformation. By providing centralised data storage, computing resources and services, cloud computing enables enterprises to deploy and manage their applications at lower costs and with greater flexibility. However, with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G networks and other emerging technologies, the exponential growth of data generation and processing requirements makes it difficult for centralised processing architectures that rely solely on cloud computing to meet performance requirements in specific scenarios, especially in terms of low latency, high bandwidth and real-time data processing.
Edge computing has thus become a vital supplementary solution. By performing computing and processing at a location close to the data source, edge computing not only reduces the latency of data transmission, but also enhances the real-time response capability of the system while reducing the pressure on network bandwidth.
