The Gorilla Guide to hybrid edge computing

The foundational principle of edge computing is that latency-sensitive applications need to be as close to the consumer as possible. Proximity to the user is critical to ensure minimal response times. While the concept of edge computing is simple to describe, it is very difficult to execute. This is especially true of the emerging category of hybrid edge computing.


What is edge computing?

At its most basic, edge computing can be reasonably viewed as repackaging traditional on-premises computing. The concept of processing data as close as possible to where it was collected wasn’t considered novel or controversial until cloud computing became a thing; workloads started moving out across the Internet and started being restricted to a handful of large centralized data centers.
