Edge isn’t just something found in trolly Internet threads, but an entire spectrum of computing that can best be defined as “Computing not done in your traditional data center.” However, this definition is flippant and also fails to cover the true breadth and depth of edge computing, as it can be defined differently by almost every business, industry, and IT team. This is because edge computing is a relative term, meaning everything from one lock-and-key facility, Amazon's, Google's, Microsoft's or IBM’s clouds, or dozens of small datacenters surrounded by IoT devices.
