The latency of a network is the amount of time that is needed for data to travel between a sender and a receiver. Even though all computers have some amount of network lag, it can fluctuate from time to time and for a variety of different reasons. The major cause of network latency is the route that is followed by the traffic through the internet servers and other backbone devices.

Until recently, before the invention of SD-WAN network, the use of WANs and MPLS connections were at a risk of security breaches. Now, we have the opportunity to add an additional layer of security to prevent our data from security breaches. Most MPLS connected networks grant unrestricted user access to customers, which can be dangerous. In comparison, SD-WANs allow IT to utilize tunneling in order to segment traffic over the network. Also, in order to gain greater amount of protection, companies are fusing security into the SD-WANs.

In our Edge computing series, we saw how this cutting-edge technological advancement will shape up the next era. The future of Edge computing undisputedly lies in mobile edge computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT). But, is it so obvious? Though IoT and Edge computing are two separate topics and technologies, it cannot be denied that they share a strong relationship. IoT enables us to connect millions of physical devices making our daily tasks easier. Edge computing is a concept to process data nearest to the source device. The question arises - why we need to use Edge computing for IoT? Cannot it be done using cloud computing or some other method of data processing? Is this because of the huge amount of data being produced by the devices? Do we need Edge computing for achieving the optimum system performance and efficiency?

Edge computing is one of the hottest topic these days. Everyone in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry is talking about Edge computing and its implementation for several reasons. Most of the big data solutions that are working currently in the market are using cloud solutions. In the cloud, the information is collected from the sensors and transferred to the remote data warehouses where processing is done. The processed data is sent back to the devices that are to be controlled. With the growth of IoT, the need for faster processing has gained importance. It is proven fact that Edge computing is comparatively more advantageous because it processes data within or nearest to the devices that produce this data. But the question remains – is this the only reason for the increasing prominence of Edge computing? Let’s delve deeper and find out why Edge computing is the perfect solution for IoT.
