Fog computing (or fogging) is extending cloud computing to the edge of the network. It describes a decentralized computing structure located between the cloud and devices that produce data. Operations like computing, storing and networking between end devices and data centers of cloud computing are facilitated by Fog computing. Decentralization and flexibility are the main difference between Fog computing and Cloud computing. Advantages of Fog computing include, minimize latency, conserve network bandwidth, reduce operating costs, enhance security, improve reliability, deepen insights and boost business agility. Various applications of Fog computing are, smart cities and smart electric grids, smart transportation networks, connected cars, real-time analytics etc. Here, this paper presents a comparative study of Cloud computing and Fog computing.

Abstract


Fog computing (or fogging) is extending cloud computing to the edge of the network. It describes a decentralized computing structure located between the cloud and devices that produce data. Operations like computing, storing and networking between end devices and data centers of cloud computing are facilitated by Fog computing. Decentralization and flexibility are the main difference between Fog computing and Cloud computing. Advantages of Fog computing include, minimize latency, conserve network bandwidth, reduce operating costs, enhance security, improve reliability, deepen insights and boost business agility. Various applications of Fog computing are, smart cities and smart electric grids, smart transportation networks, connected cars, real-time analytics etc. Here, this paper presents a comparative study of Cloud computing and Fog computing.
