Abstract

The demerits of cloud computing lie in the velocity, bandwidth, and privacy of data. This chapter focuses on why fog computing presents an effective solution to cloud computing. It first explains the primary motivation behind the use of fog computing. Fog computing, in essence, extends the services of the cloud towards the edge of the network (i.e., towards the devices nearer to the customer or the end user). Doing so offers several advantages. Some of the discussed advantages are scalability, low latency, reducing network traffic, and increasing efficiency. The chapter then explains the architecture to implement a fog network, followed by its applications. Some commercial fog products are also discussed, and a use case for an airport security system is presented.
