Cloud computing is the act of running workloads within clouds, while edge computing is the act of running workloads on edge devices.
While the two concepts are related, they are different. Clouds are places where data can be stored or applications can run. They are software-defined environments created by datacenters or server farms.
Edge computing is separate from clouds because it’s time sensitive and the data volume collected is too much to send unaltered to a cloud.
For organizations, the benefits of cloud computing are considerable. The cloud delivers more flexibility and reliability, increased performance and efficiency, and helps to lower IT costs.
Additionally, experts in this area contend that cloud computing improves innovation, allowing organizations to achieve faster time to market and incorporate AI and machine learning use cases into their strategies.
With edge computing, data is processed and stored right on the device. Many feel edge computing improves data security by reducing the amount of data transmitted and processed in the cloud, keeping sensitive data on user devices, and reducing the risk of data compromise.
