  6. Edge computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_computing

    Edge computing is a distributed computing model that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. This often makes applications faster. [1] More broadly, it refers to any design that pushes computation physically closer to a user, so as to reduce the latency compared to when an application runs on a single data centre. [2]
