CLOUD Syn

Fog computing extends cloud computing to the edge of a network by facilitating compute, storage, and networking services between end devices and cloud data centers. It brings cloud capabilities closer to connected devices and applications that consume cloud services. Cisco's IOx platform runs applications directly on network devices like routers and cameras. Fog computing works well with cloud control and offers deeper insights across nodes. It can help solve challenges facing smart cities by installing a network of fog nodes to handle data from an IoT network and address issues like traffic, safety, and energy usage. Fog computing offers cloud computing capabilities to handle large amounts of daily IoT data, reduces network bandwidth usage, and enables faster responses by analyzing data locally rather than routing it to the

FOG COMPUTING

INTRODUCTION:

Fog computing is a term created by Cisco that refers to extending cloud computing to the edge
of an enterprise's network. Also known as Edge Computing or fogging, fog computing facilitates
the operation of compute, storage and networking services between end devices and cloud
computing data centers.
Cisco introduced its fog computing vision in January 2014 as a way of bringing cloud computing
capabilities to the edge of the network and as a result, closer to the rapidly growing number of
connected devices and applications that consume cloud services and generate increasingly
massive amounts of data
The fog computing vision has taken form in Cisco's IOx platform, which according to a recent
eWeek article, "brings distributed computing capabilities to the edge of the network by running
applications directly on Cisco network devices, such as ruggedized switches, routers and IP
video cameras."

ADVANTAGES:

major advantages are


-Greater Business Agility
-Better Security
-Deeper Insights with Privacy Control
-Reduced Operation Cost

Applications of Fog Computing:

Fog Computing works best in a cloud-based control environment to offer control and deeper
insight across a range of nodes. These include wind energy, transportation, smart cities,
surveillance and smart buildings. Let’s have a look at some of the real-life examples where and
how fog computing can be helpful.

Fog Computing in Smart Cities

Large cities face a number of challenges including public safety, sanitation, traffic congestion,
high-energy utilization and municipal services. The solution to these challenges lies in a single
IoT network by installing a network of fog nodes.

CONCLUSION:
Fog computing offers cloud computing to handle the larger set of data generated daily from
IoT. It helps solve challenges of exploding data velocity, variety, and volume. It also enhances
the awareness and response to events by eradicating a round trip to the cloud for analysis.

Moreover, it helps in reducing the cost of additional bandwidths by discharging gigabytes of the
network from the prime network. In addition, it can protect the sensitive Internet of Things
data by evaluating it inside the company. Hence, the enterprises who embrace fog computing
gain faster and deeper insights, resulting in increased business agility, improved safety, and
higher service level.
