Taking Analytics to the Edge: Moving Processing to the Data Rather than Data to the Processing

Ground-breaking changes are happening on the edge of computing. We're long past the days when all analytics can be centralized in datacenters or even in the cloud. It's an increasingly decentralized world where analytics has to take place in real time right where individual sensors are, or in the fog when there's a need to collect information from multiple devices for fast insights. We recently sat down to talk with renowned technology consultant Marc Staimer about computing in the edge, the fog, and the core. In part two of our conversation, we're going to take a more in-depth look at matching the analytics requirements to the location of the analysis, especially when those analytics need to take place on the edge or in the fog.
