👉 Ceiling computing, also known as cloud ceiling or edge computing at the network edge, is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, typically at the network edge or within local edge servers. This approach contrasts with traditional centralized cloud computing by reducing latency, improving data privacy and security, and enabling real-time processing of data generated by IoT devices and other sources. By processing data locally or near the source, ceiling computing optimizes bandwidth usage and enhances the efficiency of data-intensive applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation. It allows for more responsive and reliable systems, as critical computations can be performed without relying on distant cloud servers, making it an essential component in the evolution of modern computing architectures.
