This is a whole new layer of compute and storage between the cloud and the endpoint devices. It's still a client/server model, but it provides more control over the data closer to the source. This has a number of benefits. One is that you can control who sees that data. Second, response time is faster. And third, you can get rid of more useless data much more quickly and cheaply closer to the source of that data than if you have to send it.
