CoAP and its Role in Edge Computing and IoT

CoAP, the Constrained Application Protocol, allows developers to include simple, constrained devices in modern-day edge computing platforms. With the evolution of networking technologies and the wide-scale rollout of 5G in many parts of the world, the proliferation of solutions that leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) will increase exponentially. However, even with the expected improvement in average network speeds, constrained environments with low bandwidth and availability will exist for the foreseeable future. Before we can understand the need for CoAP [...]

Secure Edge Computing – Hardening the New Cybersecurity Frontline

Secure edge computing is vital in dispersed networking environments. With 5G networks set to revolutionize and accelerate the deployment of IoT solutions, the adoption of edge computing is set to increase over the next few years. This technology paradigm shift, where some processing will move from a centralized computing architecture to a decentralized model, requires organizations to rethink their security strategy. Unlike cloud computing, where enterprises can focus their efforts on securing a centralized service, the edge poses several challenges due to the dispersed nature of this [...]

Edge Computing – How CDNs Can Help Deliver IoT Data

CDN Edge solutions are going to become more relevant as IoT continues its impressive growth. With the arrival of 5G, the amount of data that IoT devices create is expected to increase exponentially and will require edge solutions that can store, process, and analyze the data as close to the source as possible. In the world of distributed computing, there are currently two contrary paradigms at play. On the one hand, we see the movement of I.T. workloads and data [...]
