Abstract: In cloud computing, the word cloud (also phrased
as "the cloud") is used as a metaphor for "the Internet," so the
phrase cloud computing means "a type of Internetbased
computing". It can also be defined as a group of
computers and servers connected together over the Internet to
form a network. Though cloud computing offers several
leverages, but it has some downside too, that during load
balancing of data in cloud data centers the internet faces
problems of network congestion, less bandwidth utilization,
fault tolerance and security etc. This is where the concept of
“Fog Computing†comes to play. It easily transfers sensitive
data without delaying to distributed devices. Fog is similar to
the cloud only difference lies in the fact that it is located more
close to end users to process and give response to the client in
less time.
Fog Computing, also termed as “foggingâ€, is a distributed
infrastructure in which a smart device manages certain
application processes or services at the border of the network,
but others are still managed in the cloud. It is, essentially, a
central layer between the cloud and the hardware to enable
more efficient data processing, analysis and storage, which is
achieved by reducing the amount of data which needs to be
transported to the cloud.
