👉 Closely computing refers to the practice of bringing computing resources and services closer to the data sources or end-users, reducing latency and improving efficiency in data processing and analysis. This approach minimizes the need to transmit large volumes of data over long distances to centralized data centers, thereby decreasing network congestion and enhancing real-time processing capabilities. By deploying computing resources at the edge of the network, closely computing supports applications that require immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation, ultimately leading to more responsive and efficient systems.
