INSPIRATION
Edge computing brings data computation and data storage closer to the source of data instead of a centralized remote cloud. This reduces latency, increases bandwidth, and simplifies maintenance while it allows industrial manufacturing companies to expand their computing capacity by combining devices with edge data centers at lower costs. Lower latencies and high speeds are required for modern applications, like cloud gaming and VR. Edge Computing greatly improves the quality of experience for end-users and lowers data exchange requirements.
Belgian startup Edgegap provides Edge network-based
game hosting services. By locating online game-hosting servers in close proximity to the actual players, the startup ensuring low latencies. Edgegap currently has 220 hosting locations available. Moreover, the services are easily scalable and reliable. Edgegap provides equal latencies for all players
connected to a single game, ensuring fairness, which is very important in competitive gaming.
US-based startup Axellio builds FabricXpress – a high-performance, high-density computing and storage platform for heavy applications. This solution is suitable for Edge networks that have a high density, high bandwidth, and low latency requirement. In addition to improving network performance,the startup achieves this with a small energy footprint and low costs.
