    Study Notes

    Fog Computing

    • A decentralized computing paradigm that brings computation and storage closer to the source of data.

    Key Components

    • Fog Nodes: Distributed computing devices deployed at the network edge
    • Edge Devices: Devices that generate data, such as: sensors, smartphones, and IoT devices.
    • Cloud Servers: Centralized computing resources for large-scale data processing and storage.
    • Communication Network: Connects fog nodes, edge devices, and cloud servers.

    Benefits of Fog Computing

    • Reduced Latency: Faster response times due to processing data closer to the source.
    • Improved Response Times: Reduced latency and faster data processing lead to more responsive applications.
    • Enhanced Scalability: Flexibility to add or remove fog nodes as needed, adapting to fluctuating data volumes.
    • Improved Data Privacy: Processing data closer to the source reduces the need to transmit sensitive information to distant servers.
    • Reduced Costs: Decreases reliance on centralized cloud resources by distributing processing power.
