Edge computing vs. Cloud computing

 

Edge computing processes data near the source, while cloud computing relies on centralized data centers.

Edge delivers much lower latency, whereas cloud responses are slower due to network distance.

Edge reduces bandwidth use by handling data locally; cloud requires continuous data transmission.

Cloud offers massive scalability and storage, while edge devices have limited capacity.

Edge is ideal for real-time IoT and automation, while cloud excels at heavy data processing and long-term storage.
