What is edge server in IoT?
An edge server is a type of computer server that is located at the edge of a network, typically between the core network and the outer perimeter. In the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), an edge server is a type of device that is used to collect and process data from IoT devices, such as sensors, and then send that data to the cloud or a data center for further analysis and storage. This allows organizations to make use of the vast amounts of data generated by IoT devices in real-time, without having to send all of that data to the cloud, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Edge servers can also help to reduce the load on the core network by pre-processing data before it is sent to the cloud, which can improve the overall performance of an IoT system.
