Abstract:
The size and variety of the data circulating in the current networks is exponentially increased and the IoT contributes significantly to this increase in volume, this implies a substantial increase in the traffic that reaches the data centers for analysis. This increase in traffic directly affects the response time of IoT systems, which in critical environments can be unacceptable. The aim of this paper is to analyze a new computing paradigm called Edge Computing that brings together some of the analytical and processing capabilities currently offered by cloud systems to the place where the data is generated, thus reducing the volume of information that must be sent to the network and improving the response time of the systems.
