How Fog Computing Powers AI, IoT, and 5G
Blog post from DataStax
Fog computing is a distributed computing framework that extends cloud computing capabilities closer to the end user or devices, enabling local processing of data in smart devices and improving the operation of compute, storage, and networking services between end devices and cloud computing data centers. It supports IoT, 5G, AI, and other applications requiring ultra-low latency, high network bandwidth, resource constraints, and added security. Fog computing is becoming increasingly important as the number of connected devices grows, with predictions that it could reach over $18 billion worldwide by 2022. It offers a solution to challenges faced by cloud computing, such as real-time processing, latency, security, and privacy concerns.
