Edge Computing is pushing the frontier of computing applications, data, and services away from centralized nodes to the logical extremes of a network. It enables analytics and knowledge generation to occur at the source of the data. This approach requires leveraging resources that may not be continuously connected to a network such as laptops, smartphones, tablets and sensors. Edge Computing covers a wide range of technologies including wireless sensor networks, mobile data acquisition, mobile signature analysis, cooperative distributed peer-to-peer ad hoc networking and processing also classifiable as Local Cloud/Fog Computing and Grid/Mesh Computing, distributed data storage and retrieval, autonomic self-healing networks, virtual cloudlets, remote cloud services, augmented reality, and more
As mentioned before, edge computing pushes applications, data and computing power (services) away from centralized points to the logical extremes of a network. Edge computing replicates fragments of information across distributed networks of web servers, which may be vast and include many networks. As a topological paradigm, edge computing is also referred to as mesh computing, peer-to-peer computing, autonomic (self-healing) computing, grid computing, and other names implying non-centralized, node-less availability.
To ensure acceptable performance of widely-dispersed distributed services, large organizations typically implement edge computing by deploying Web server farms with clustering. Previously available only to very large corporate and government organizations, technology advancement and cost reduction for large-scale implementations have made the technology available to small and medium-sized business.
The target end-user is any Internet client making use of commercial Internet application services.
Edge computing imposes certain limitations on the choices of technology platforms, applications or services, all of which need to be specifically developed or configured for edge computing.
Edge computing has many advantages:
Edge application services significantly decrease the data volume that must be moved, the consequent traffic, and the distance the data must go, thereby reducing transmission costs, shrinking latency, and improving quality of service (QoS).
Edge computing eliminates, or at least de-emphasizes, the core computing environment, limiting or removing a major bottleneck and a potential point of failure.
Security is also improved as encrypted data moves further in, toward the network core. As it approaches the enterprise, the data is checked as it passes through protected firewalls and other security points, where viruses, compromised data, and active hackers can be caught early on.
Finally, the ability to "virtualize" (i.e., logically group CPU capabilities on an as-needed, real-time basis) extends scalability. The edge computing market is generally based on a "charge for network services" model, and it could be argued that typical customers for edge services are organizations desiring linear scale of business application performance to the growth of, e.g., a subscriber base.
Edge Computing is a groundbreaking service that enables you to execute custom real-time application logic on our patented, worldwide network, at the edges of the Internet, with the highest levels of performance, scalability, and reliability in a cost-effective manner. The Mirror Image network consists of massive, globally balanced infrastructure that offloads traffic from your origin servers, and provides a presence close to each end user, ensuring optimal application performance.
Our Edge Computing service is ideal for handling a wide range of custom applications and use cases, including programmatic mobile and display advertising applications, stream and asset authentication, online data collection, and targeting and customization initiatives based on cookies, device type, geo-location, and other request attributes—as well as many other use cases.
Tightly integrated with all of our Media and Content Delivery services, Edge Computing makes it easy to programmatically create a unique online experience for every browser or device in real time. Powered by our flexible Edge Computing Framework, and a set of extensible Edge Computing Solutions, it provides configurable building blocks that speed and simplify the development and deployment of new, highly customized applications.
For web applications that require low latency and guaranteed availability, Mirror Image’s Edge Computing services are a superior alternative to internal server build-outs and traditional cloud computing services. Internal server build-outs are expensive and tedious, requiring excess capacity to handle traffic surges, and a staff of server experts 24×7. And traditional cloud service providers offer general-purpose computing platforms that are not optimized for real-time, globally distributed online applications that require very low latency and high availability operations for handling heavy Internet traffic.
