Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A rise in technologies is allowing mass communication to open ways for the use of these new technologies to improve services delivered by management software in enterprises and other groups, specifically Cloud Computing and Edge Computing. Edge Computing has been seen as an alternative to Cloud Computing due to limitations it brings, like strong dependency on centralization, which can cause excessive stress in computer networks and high amounts of network latency. However, Edge Computing needs more devices spread out geographically, therefore it’s necessary to develop technologies to manage these devices. To this end, Microsoft has developed Azure IoT Edge, a tool that tries to make this task easier and also bring other features. This research looks to expose the qualities and limitations of this tool and develop prototypes to use it. The prototypes were developed in the context of a corporation, and results were then measured and evaluated with this context in mind. The results obtained are then shown and discussed, and lastly, the conclusion and what future work can be done to improve upon the work done and the context surrounding it, along with establishing some good practices.
