Edgestores
Edgestores are a conceptual category of data storage solutions designed to exist at the periphery of a network, closer to the users and devices that generate or consume data. Unlike traditional centralized data centers, edgestores are distributed and deployed in a variety of locations, such as cellular towers, retail locations, industrial facilities, or even on individual devices. The primary motivation behind edgestores is to reduce latency, conserve bandwidth, and enhance the responsiveness of applications by processing and storing data locally.
The concept is closely tied to the rise of edge computing. As the Internet of Things (IoT)
Applications that benefit from edgestores include autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, smart city infrastructure, augmented reality, and
