What does edge computing mean?

Edge computing refers to the use of network, computing, storage, and application core capabilities as an open platform on the side close to the source of things and data to provide the closest end services nearby. For IoT, a breakthrough in edge computing technology means that much of the control will be realized through local devices without having to go to the cloud, and the processing will be done at the local edge computing layer. I remember that our company that will purchase servers, Steno Hopper also gave us some explanations, the specifics are not too much to understand, interested in you can go and see for yourself.
