👉 Discs computing, also known as distributed or edge computing with disc storage, is a paradigm that leverages the vast storage capacity and computational power of numerous interconnected hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) to perform data processing and analytics closer to where the data is generated, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach reduces latency and bandwidth usage by processing data locally or at the edge of the network, making it particularly effective for applications requiring real-time responses, such as autonomous vehicles, IoT devices, and smart cities. By distributing data across multiple storage nodes, discs computing enhances data security, reliability, and efficiency, as it minimizes the risk of single points of failure and ensures data availability even if some nodes become unavailable.
