Why Edge Computing is More Relevant in 2020 Than Ever
The world has recently been forced to digitize - both more quickly and to a greater extent; coronavirus has created the need to remodel how work, socializing, production, entertainment, and supply chains function. Despite decades of digitization efforts, with the...
Why do we need Edge Computing for a sustainable future?
Centralized data centers consume a lot of energy, produce a lot of carbon emissions and cause significant electronic waste. While data centers are seeing a positive trend towards using green energy, an even more sustainable approach (alongside so-called "green data...
Connecting database performance and business value – a fast edge database is a money saver
We frequently get asked: “Why does database performance matter?” “What is the business value of database speed?” As a developer, it seems clear that database performance matters. At the very least, a fast database that gives you out-of-the-box speed saves time and...
How EV Charging Benefits from Edge Computing
Edge computing allows data to be stored and used on local devices. Integrating Edge Computing directly within electric vehicle charging infrastructure improves station usability and also allows for real-time energy management.Car charging and electric vehicles The era...
