As I noted in a recent post, the trend toward a greater focus on edge computing, rather than cloud computing, as the processing and analysis engine of choice for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications has been picking up a lot of speed.
Cloud computing will, of course, still play a role in IIoT, but it’s clear that, for security concerns and bandwidth reasons—not to mention outages like this week’s event with Amazon Web Services—edge computing will increasingly be the IIoT computing platform of choice.
