The State of Edge Compute and Delivery 2024.

In this article by Tim Siglin, the state of edge compute and delivery in 2024 is explored. The concept of aggregation in edge computing is discussed, where devices connect to specific servers based on their manufacturer. This approach reduces latency and the risk of centralized data breaches. The article also highlights the benefits of edge authentication, content privacy, and the use of micro data centers for lower latency. It emphasizes the importance of smaller, regional data centers for reducing latency and improving synchronization in streaming. The potential growth of edge computing in the next five years is discussed, with private clouds and smaller regional data centers being suggested as suitable environments. The author, Tim Siglin, is an experienced industry veteran in streaming and a contributing editor to Streaming Media magazine. [Extracted from the article]
