# What is a Fast Edge and how is it selected?

Cloudbrink’s Fast Edge is the Cloudbrink-managed edge-computing infrastructure service that provides an access point into the solution for end users. 

Cloudbrink Edge infrastructure is a highly distributed and resilient edge network enabling every single user to have the closest access point regardless of their location or mobility. <br>

Edge proximity is a key factor in delivering the best quality of service for end users and Cloudbrink ensures the best Edge section for all users.&#x20;

Enterprise administrators can login to e-portal and check the Edge a particular user is connected to and other metrics. <br>

#### Edge selection process for Brinkagent&#x20;

Cloudbrink SaaS presents up to 6 Edges to the Brinkagent based on the client's geo location. An optimal Edge is selected from those options based on following parameters:&#x20;

1. Distance between the user’s location and the edge&#x20;
2. Usage of Edge resources such as CPU, network bandwidth&#x20;
3. Calculated Round Trip Time (latency) from user to Edge&#x20;
