👉 Rug computing is an innovative approach to network infrastructure and cloud services that leverages the physical presence of data centers and edge nodes within densely populated urban areas, often referred to as "rugs." These data centers are strategically placed in city centers or other high-traffic zones, bringing computing resources closer to end-users and reducing latency. By utilizing existing urban infrastructure, rug computing aims to enhance network performance, improve data security, and lower costs associated with traditional data center deployment. This model also supports the growth of edge computing, enabling real-time processing and faster response times for applications like IoT, autonomous vehicles, and augmented reality. Additionally, rug computing promotes sustainability by reducing the need for extensive data transmission over long distances and optimizing energy usage through localized processing.
