ääretöötlusele

ääretöötlusele refers to edge computing in Estonian. It is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. This contrasts with traditional cloud computing, where data is sent to a centralized data center for processing. The primary motivation for adopting edge computing is to improve response times and save bandwidth. By processing data at the edge, latency is significantly reduced, which is critical for applications requiring real-time decision-making, such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, and augmented reality.

Edge computing enables devices and sensors to process data locally, filtering out unnecessary information before sending it to the cloud. This reduces the amount of data transmitted, leading to lower bandwidth costs and more efficient network utilization. Furthermore, processing data closer to its origin can enhance security and privacy by keeping sensitive information within a local network.

The implementation of ääretöötlusele involves a variety of hardware and software components, including edge servers, gateways, and specialized edge devices. These components work together to collect, process, and act upon data in real-time. As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the importance of ääretöötlusele is expected to grow, supporting a new generation of intelligent and responsive applications.
