ITPEC FE Subject A October 2025 — Question 11 of 60

Edge Computing — processing data near its source to reduce latency.

Edge computing performs primary data processing on a server or device close to the origin of data (e.g., a sensor attached to a user or device), increasing real-time responsiveness.

Why not others:
- (a) — describes Rich Internet Application (RIA) — client-side rendering for better UI

- (c) — describes grid computing — virtualizing multiple servers into one high-performance system

- (d) — describes serverless / on-demand computing — starting servers only when data arrives

Key point: Edge = processing at the "edge" of the network, close to data sources, minimizing latency.
