Although it may appear that location differentiates the two, there are still many other distinctions that make them suitable for different uses and needs. Discover how our new Data Center Cabinets Range can help you compute on the edge
Edge computing is an innovative strategy that moves data storage and processing closer to users and data sources. On the contrary, colocation utilizes a third
party’s centralized area and data to share resources and space with their clients. Although it may appear that location differentiates the two, there are still many other distinctions that make them suitable for different uses and needs.
In 2025, the world’s data creation is forecast to hit a new record high of over 180 zettabytes. Of course, this will inevitably increase the demand for low-latency and high-bandwidth applications. As a result, it paved the way for new and improved data processing paradigms like edge colocation. As the name implies, it combines the best of edge
computing and colocation to address the drawbacks of both and provide a better solution to customer needs.
What is Edge Computing?
Edge computing is a method that places data processing and storage at the network’s “edge,” where it’s closer to both resources and users. Since discovering the “edge,” edge computing has become a vital modern technology. After years of relying on huge rooms as centralized data centers, edge computing decentralized the processing across multiple edge nodes or devices to create local networks and servers. Since then, it has provided numerous functions and solutions to a wide range
of users.
