More Interest in Edge Computing to Support IoT

Internet of Things use cases often are ideally suited to an edge computing approach. In many cases, that is because sensors are located in a factory, and local processing is feasible. In other cases, as when lots of time-critical information is used for control purposes, local processing reduces latency.

It also can make sense to process lots of visual information locally, rather than at a remote location.
