The future of computing is no longer just in the cloud. Edge computing—bringing data processing closer to where it’s generated—is rising as artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and real-time applications demand instant performance. For entrepreneurs and investors, the question is urgent: where is the puck going, and how do you align your portfolio to capture it?
This book delivers the clarity you need. You’ll learn the core differences between cloud and edge computing, how they work together in the digital ecosystem, and why the shift toward the edge is accelerating. More importantly, you’ll discover which ETFs actually provide true exposure—so you can avoid misleading funds and build smarter, forward-looking positions.
Designed for entrepreneurs who want precision in their strategies, this guide helps you see past the hype and capture the real opportunities driving the next era of computing. The cloud isn’t disappearing, the edge isn’t optional—and with the right system, you can profit from both.
