What exactly is the edge, and why should data have to be processed there? Simply put, within your hybrid IT deployments, the local edge creates a high-performance bridge for your off-premise public and/or private cloud, on-premise and co-located corporate data centers and your local on-premise IT deployments. The cloud centralizes data processing and storage, but as companies embark on IoT implementations, many have come to realize this centralization has its limitations and there are certain applications it simply cannot support appropriately.
