Edge computing involves a considerable portion, if not all, of an organization's data collected, analyzed, processed, and re-disseminated at the "edge" (i.e., the technology infrastructure and devices situated outside the traditional "core" enterprise or datacenters). Data can be collected, analyzed, and used operationally in real time without needing to be sent all the way up to a core IT system for processing/analysis and then passed back down to the edge.
