Where is the Edge?

Edge computing is one of the more-flexible concepts in the computing universe. It can refer to computing on a device, on the premises or on the network edge. The “telecom edge,” in some cases, refers to small data centers located as much as 30 miles from a device or location requiring edge computing support. 



Another way of describing the venues is that device computing is consumer edge, with computing happening on the end user device. The enterprise edge might happen at one or more servers on a premises. A telecom edge location would then be outside any single enterprise location, but within a single metro area.
