the rise of fog computing -- at the edge of the network

RISE OF FOG COMPUTINGAt the edge of the network

What is Cloud Computing?

What is Fog Computing?■An extension of cloud

computing■Middle layer between cloud

and hardware ■ It facilitates efficient data

processing, analysis, and storage as devices communicate peer-to-peer

What is Fog Computing?■Data is managed and processed at the edge of the

network, rather than routing it through a central data center in the cloud

■Hence, it is also called Edge Computing or fogging

Six Dimensions to Fog Computing

Advantages of Fog Computing■Superior support for mobility■Proximity to its end users ■Dense geographical distribution■Reduced service latency and

congestion■ Improves Quality of Service

(QoS)■Enhanced user experience

Fog Computing Overview

Cloud Architecture■Before the advent of fog technology

Cloud Architecture■After the advent of fog technology

Fog Computing Uses■Smart Cities

■ Collects data on city activities from traffic to utilities and processes it locally to aid the user

■Healthcare■ Fog computing, as it involves

real-time analytics will be valuable for patient monitoring and crisis response especially in rural areas

Fog Computing Uses■Logistics

■ Due to real time interactions/communication between vehicles, traffic lights, and access points, commuting will be safe

Paradigm Shift with Edge Intelligence ■Companies are now gradually moving towards

decentralizing the cloud■Proliferation of IoTs, operations technologies, and

decision intelligence need to be closer to the field, than the central platform

What Lies Ahead■With the increase in

connected devices and bandwidth for storage and processing, fog computing is the future

■ It is the product of need as it fulfills real-time processes, and action of incoming data

■ The Fog Computing market is forecasted to be worth 203.48 million USD by 2022
