What is Decentralized Architecture

Chapter 3
Emerging Trends in Cloud Computing Analytics, Scalability, and Service Models
A decentralized architecture in edge computing involves distributing computing resources across a network of edge devices rather than relying on a central data center. This approach enhances scalability, reliability, and resilience, as tasks can be processed locally without a single point of failure. Decentralized architectures are well-suited for edge computing environments.

Abstract
Edge computing is a revolutionary approach that enables processing and decision-making in close proximity to data sources, reducing latency and optimizing bandwidth usage. This paradigm involves various components such as edge devices, servers, and networks, integrating sensors, actuators, and IoT devices with real-time analysis enabled by edge processing units and containerization technologies. Edge networks, facilitated by edge routers and gateways and diverse communication protocols, ensure seamless data flow. Network edge computing (NEC) further minimizes latency and supports critical network functions. In conclusion, edge computing is reshaping the computing landscape, fostering innovation across industries. The chapter also addresses challenges, potential solutions, and promising trends for future research.
