Читать книгу Understanding Infrastructure Edge Computing - Alex Marcham - Страница 20

As with many technologies, upon close inspection, infrastructure edge computing represents an evolution more than the radical revolution that it may initially appear to be. This does not make it any less significant or impactful; it merely allows us to contextualise infrastructure edge computing within the broader trends which over time have driven much of the development of internet and data centre infrastructure since their inception. This progression lets us understand infrastructure edge computing not as the wild anomaly which it has been portrayed as in the past but as the clear progression of an ongoing theme in network design which has been present for decades and driven by the need to solve both key technical and business challenges using simple and proven principles.
