Top Five Emerging Storms in the Stratosphere of Cloud Computing

Edge Computing Gaining Edge

Another emerging storm in the cloud computing stratosphere is edge computing. Put simply, it involves pushing the computation and data storage closer to the location where it's needed, improving response times and saving bandwidth.

With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, edge computing addresses latency issues that are a common concern in centralized cloud systems. By processing data near the source, it reduces the need for long-distance communication with a data center, thereby improving speed and performance.

However, with these advantages come potential challenges such as security risks and the need for newer infrastructure. Despite these, edge computing's promise of improved connectivity and speed puts it at the forefront of cloud computing's future.
