Edge Computing
Edge computing involves localized data processing, allowing for efficient data handling at or near the source. It can function independently of internet connectivity, maintaining its classification as edge computing. While it offers benefits like reduced response times, it also presents challenges such as increased hardware requirements and security vulnerabilities.
- ▪Edge computing processes data locally at or near the source.
- ▪It remains classified as edge computing even when disconnected from the cloud.
- ▪The approach can prevent network congestion and save bandwidth.

But is it still edge computing if it is not connected to the internet? The answer is yes, it is still considered edge computing even when disconnected from the cloud.
