What Is Distributed Cloud And How Does It Work?
Search Cloud , Wednesday, November 27th, 2024
Distributed cloud is public cloud -- any third-party cloud computing service offered over public internet -- deployed in more than one location, ideally in proximity to whoever or whatever wants to access it.
These locations include but aren't limited to within the public cloud provider's infrastructure, on-premises or even in another cloud provider's data center. This flexibility is one of the benefits of distributed cloud, which further distinguishes itself by offering users a single point of control despite its multi-cloud, multi-location architecture.
A robust public cloud infrastructure lays the groundwork for edge computing, decreasing the physical distance between cloud computing services, such as storage, and the end user or application requesting the service.
