Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an edge computing-based distributed network architecture. A central server in the architecture may include a client-location monitoring module for tracking a principle location of a client, which may be co-located with a remote hub institution. The central server may also include a client information packaging module, for packaging information associated with the client into a digital package; a natural-disaster monitor module, for monitoring for future natural-disasters; and a transmission module for transmitting a packaging instruction from the natural-disaster monitor module to the client information packaging module when the natural-disaster monitor module communicates that a natural-disaster is predicted to occur within a certain threshold distance and within a certain threshold amount of time. The transmission module may also retrieve, following packaging, the package from the client information packaging module and transmit the digital package to the remote hub institution for secure, albeit typically temporary, storage thereat.
