Top 4 Edge Technologies for IoT


The global proliferation of IoT-based smart devices has brought convenience to our fingertips, since the beginning of the decade. Fast forward 10 years and incredibly convoluted, real-time, lightning-fast operations have ceased to awe us and are, in fact, quite commonplace. However, the technology that makes IoT (Internet of Things) and its technological miracles happen is quite interesting and complex. Let’s explore edge computing – the technology that brings the processing and the data closer to the smart devices.

Edge computing has taken the world of technology by storm, owing to its very principle that enables the computing and storage of data at the edge of the network, closer to where the data originates from. Along with a radical reduction in latency, edge computing is paving the way for an enhanced, more efficient network infrastructure, one that enables 5G services.

Modern businesses across domains should leverage the Edge to avail significant business benefits such as speed that empowers real-time analysis, scalability, heightened security, versatility, and drastic cost savings. The first step for businesses in their journey of transformation with edge computing is investing in experts who will help harness the benefits of Edge in a cost-efficient manner. However, businesses should be aware of the following Edge-based technologies that are fueling next-generation network infrastructure to be able to make an educated choice.

Introduction Docker is a new disruptive technology based on Linux containers. It uses Linux Kernel Containerization technology to create, secure and isolate independent containers to run within a single Linux instance. Due to this technology, a developer is assured that the application will run on any Linux machine without worrying about different customised settings. This is a revolution for applications created, shared & populated in the cloud. Docker – Its Significance   Docker has gained its popularity due to the fact that there is least dependency issues. Docker containers run almost everywhere. It can be deployed on containers, desktops, physical servers, virtual machines, into data centers, and up to public and private clouds. It provides a container for managing software workloads on shared infrastructure, while keeping them isolated from one another. Containers enable developers to design an application with all the essential parts and ...

IoT - Internet Of Things

Image
Definition IoT is known as data gathering, data analysis and action/task/computation with the help of network of various objects like computer, smartphone, hardware(sensors, controllers, converter), network. Wikipedia describes The Internet of Things (IoT) as the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity— that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems. Importance of IoT Today, we have lots of technologies available. We have computers, smartphones, internet (network), various hardware devices like sensors, controllers, converters, meters. But currently all these are used on individual level. But if one can imagine using all of these together, ...
