Cloud computing has quickly gained
mainstream adoption... but fog
computing has the potential to be just
as dominant, if not more so.
What is Fog Computing?
 Fog
Computin
g
(AKA edge
Fog computing places processes and resources at the
computing)
edge of the cloud, often on network devices, while
data remains stored in the cloud. This leads to faster
processing times and fewer resources consumed.

See
Traditional cloud computing, on the other
hand, concentrates all applications and data in
the cloud.
Fog computing is a response to some of
the issues and problems encountered
from regular cloud computing.
Cloud Computing
Issue:
Bandwidth
Transmitting and processing data requires
bandwidth.
The more data, the more bandwidth is
needed.
Wireless networks that use the cloud have
their own limitations. Data transmission
simply isnt fast enough.
Amplifying these problem is the growth of
the Internet of Things, which will use more
data and require much more bandwidth.
Fog Computing and
the Internet of
Things
By 2020, the number of
things that are part of the
IoT may reach up to 50
billion. Thats a lot of data
being generated.

Fog computing goes around the
internet entirely by processing data
locally.
Fogging basically helps cloud systems
by
easing the burden of processing
data.
Fog computing can also
be used in other
areas.
Fog Computing Uses
 Smart
Fog Cities
computing helps collect data on
city activities from trafic to utilities,
ensuring everything is running
eficiently.

Air Travel
A single engine on a Boeing 747 generates
0.5TB of data. Fog computing can process
that data locally and send only the most
important bits of information to those who
need to see it.
See
 Wearable
Technology
Wearables with virtual interfaces need to
process their environment locally to aid the
user. Fog computing allows for that
processing to happen almost immediately,
improving the user experience.
