<br>

#### **Latency Reduction**

For real-time apps, central cloud delay is prohibitive. Edge Cloud cuts latency locally.

|||

![Image](privacy_security.png#tft_img#mx-auto)

<br>

#### **Privacy & Security**

By processing data locally, edge cloud reduces the exposure to data breaches and cyberattacks.

![Image](data_sovereignity.png#tft_img#mx-auto)

<br>

#### **Data Sovereignity**

Empowers emerging markets with local data storage, granting digital sovereignty and autonomy.

<br>

#### **Performance**

Provides optimized bandwidth, reliability, and real-time processing which streamlines operations.

|||

![Image](cost_efficiency.png#tft_img#mx-auto)

<br>

#### **Cost Efficiency**

Minimizes data transmission over networks, cutting costs and reducing central server demand.

![Image](scalability.png#tft_img#mx-auto)

<br>

#### **Scalability**

As devices multiply, central data centers face data overload. Edge cloud distributes processing and boosts scalability.
