Let's move our open soresx elsewhere to bleed.

I used to work for a company that worked with security cameras, and they always used terms like 'edge analytics' to refer to software that's running on each individual camera as opposed to running somewhere central, like on the DVR the cameras are connected to or a server.

From what I've seen in Nadella's presentations at various events and conferences recently, he's using 'edge' in the same way. Lots of MS presentations about the intelligent edge have included things like training a neural network on Azure, and then pushing it out to IoT devices and phones so the NN is running on 'edge' devices and just transmitting results back to a central server.

Another way to think of it: if we were looking at a tree, servers/the cloud would be the trunk, the internet would be the branches, and edge devices like cameras, various IoT devices, and phones would be the leaves. They're out at the edge of the tree, interacting with the world.
