IDC defines edge computing as processing that is done at or near the source of government data, which secures and reduces data transport time as well as network traffic. Growing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) tools such as traffic sensors, security cameras, and building security devices is creating 95% of the growth in network traffic. The value of edge computing spans an ever-widening number of missions. For example, adding data analyti...
