Powerful computing, when and where it’s needed Edge AI offers:
1
Edge AI unlocks:
Computing power Run complex AI algorithms on small, low-power devices, analyze data, and make real-time decisions.
2 3
Processing on-premises Offer an optimized low-latency experience and save money on cloud storage and bandwidth costs. Reliable storage Reduce the risk of data breach by storing data on local networks or edge devices secured with encryption and firewalls.
1
Performance Increase speed, accuracy and real-time decision making through reducing latency and minimizing unnecessary data transfer.
2
Resilience Deliver resilience through purposebuilt devices and applications that enable redundancy, distributed processing and predictive maintenance.
3
Security Enhance security through data anonymization, data encryption, threat detection, and local data processing that reduces the volume of data transfers over the cloud.
The benefits of computing at the edge: Low latency Brings processing data closer to the source and reduces the time it takes for data analysis and action to improve the user experience.
Increased scalability Scaling at the edge is more efficient as edge devices often cost less than scaling a centralized data center.
Better network utilization
Improves the performance of existing networks by reducing the data sent to off-site locations.
Improved data security
Helps keep sensitive data within the network, reducing the risk of a data breach.
Cost savings
Reduces the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades, cloud storage, and data center facilities.
