How do companies use edge computing with datacenters and public cloud? ; Edge is a strategy to extend a uniform environment all the way from the core datacenter to physical locations near users and data. Just as a hybrid cloud strategy allows organizations to run the same workloads both in their own datacenters and on public cloud infrastructure (like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud), an edge strategy extends a cloud environment out to many more locations. Edge computing is...
