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.
Application of Fog Computing
- Smart Cities: Traffic management, energy optimization, public safety.
- Industrial IoT: Predictive maintenance, quality control, process optimization.
- Autonomous Vehicles: Real-time decision making, collision avoidance.
- Healthcare: Remote patient monitoring, early disease detection.
- Virtual and Augmented Reality: Low-latency interaction, immersive experiences.
