👉 Destination computing, also known as edge or fog computing, is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the source of data generation, such as IoT devices or sensors, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach minimizes latency, reduces bandwidth usage, and enhances data privacy and security by processing and analyzing data locally or at the edge of the network. By doing so, destination computing enables real-time decision-making and efficient resource utilization, making it particularly valuable for applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation.
