Edge data centers are compact facilities strategically positioned near the edge of a network, designed to offer the same functionalities as traditional data centers in a smaller footprint. By delivering cached content and cloud computing resources closer to end users and devices, edge data centers significantly enhance performance and reduce latency. This architecture is particularly advantageous for applications demanding low latency and high-speed data processing, such as Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, autonomous vehicles, and real-time analytics, ensuring faster response times and improved user experiences.
