Edge Computing is a new compution mode which can process information rapidly nearly the data source.
In the age of Internet of Things, we could put everything into it and gather massive data to deal completely. Edge Computing can connect them togather and make this large information world more closely. Comparing to the traditional cloud computing, Edge Computing is closer to the data source so that it has a stronger reaction speed than before. In other word, EC prior to process the data then send them to the cloud center. Without doubt it would have a better effect on data disposal and reduce the workload in the center.
The advantages of EC is sparkling in the area which need high real-time reaction ability, such as auto-drive or security.
