👉 Depot computing is an architectural approach that leverages the power of edge devices and local data processing to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of cloud-based systems. In this model, computational tasks are offloaded from centralized cloud servers to edge devices, such as routers, gateways, or even end-user devices like smartphones and IoT sensors. This decentralization reduces latency by processing data closer to where it is generated, enabling real-time decision-making and reducing the bandwidth required for data transmission to and from the cloud. Depot computing is particularly beneficial in scenarios requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation, where quick data processing and low latency are critical. By distributing computing resources across the edge, depot computing not only optimizes network performance but also enhances privacy and security by minimizing data exposure during transmission.
