A360 was created by Peter Diamandis, the founder of the XPrize Foundation and Singularity University, and co-founder and board member of covid-19 vaccine developer Covaxx.

We're talking about edge computing with @ShaileshBayArea of @googlecloud. But first, what is the edge? 🤔 #FutureCompute #TechReviewEvents Image
(1/2) @ShaileshBayArea: The edge is an extension of the data center or the distributed cloud that's closer to the end of user.
It's made up of four specific locations:

-The device or sensor (think a smartphone, IoT device, or automobile)
-The enterprise edge (an office or factory floor)
-The telecom-edge
-The public-cloud edge
