OpenFog Consortium's fog computing architecture becomes an IEEE standard The IEEE Standards Association has adopted OpenFog Consortium's work on a reference architecture for fog computing, which extends cloud computing concepts to the network edge for data-intensive applications. The OpenFog Reference Architecture will be known as IEEE...

To understand visual fog computing, it is important to first understand fog computing. Let’s take a look at how the physical world connects to the cloud. Think of the physical world at the bottom of a pyramid, and the cloud as the top. At the...

Converging concepts Fog computing is expected to play a major role in meeting the needs of future 5G networks. The technology has been boasted as an effective way to provide the low latency promised by the 5G New Radio standard. With plans to roll out...

What's the difference between fog computing and edge computing? “I think edge is to fog as...apple is to fruit,” Helder Antunes, chairman of the OpenFog Consortium explained. “We look at fog computing as an end-to-end architecture from the cloud to the very thing connected. It encompasses...

  When the speed of light is a drawback — you know it is time for a new approach! Over the past couple of years, it has been abundantly clear that cloud services cannot compute the flood of data created by mobile devices and provide...

Instead of a complex infrastructure deployment, latent computing resources could be used to support the edge computing needs of the IoT The data processing and storage needs of the internet of things (IoT) will quickly become more than our current model of centralized, data center-based...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--Mike Krell, head of IoT strategy for James Brehm and Associates, kicked off a panel at Fog World Congress saying, "No one wakes up in the morning and says, 'I wanna go buy me some IoT. I wanna go buy me some...

Depends on who you ask SANTA CLARA, Calif.--“I think edge is to fog as to what apple is to fruit," Helder Antunes, chairman of the OpenFog Consortium told RCR Wireless News during Fog World Congress.  He continued: "We look at fog computing as an end-to-end...

451 Research: When it comes to fog solutions, ‘OT guys are buying outcomes’ SANTA CLARA, Calif.--Fog computing is poised to unlock new levels of efficiency and data insight for a wide range of verticals, but, as the nascent technology set gains mindshare, a new level...

IEEE working group focuses on accelerating fog computing adoption To help meet the demand of fog and edge computing, the OpenFog Consortium recently announced its OpenFog Reference Architecture will provide a foundation for a new IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) working group. The purpose of the...

 An internet of things (IoT) gateway is a device that connects IoT devices, equipment systems, sensors and the cloud. By connecting the devices in the field and a centralized cloud, the IoT gateway offers local processing and storage solutions, as well as the ability to autonomously...

ZTE made the case to combine work on cloud and fog computing at recent ITU-T CTO event in Thailand. In a move to combine what it sees as similar technology attributes, ZTE offered up a support for combining work being conducted in cloud...

IoT processors from Intel Earlier this week at IoT Solutions World Congress, Intel announced the next generation of the Intel Atom processors for "internet of things" applications. The new Intel Atom E3900 series is designed to support the rapid development and the growing complexity of IoT businesses. Intel claims...

Industrial IoT 5G Insights discussed the emergence of fog computing with Cisco, Prismtech and the Open Fog Consortium at IOT Solutions World Congress. While cloud-centric Internet of Things (IoT) platforms today play a central role in processing the vast amounts of data produced by connected...

Cisco fog applications provide factory maintenance Machine tool provider Mazak teamed with Cisco in a move to increase its manufacturing line availability and improve machine utilization through the use of fog applications. If you need a refresher on what fog computing is all about, our article Fog...

By signing the “Montevideo Declaration”, policy makers from around the world made smart cities a core element in reaching the U.N.’s sustainable development goals. With 70 percent of the world population expected to be living in cities by 2050, smart cities are increasingly seen as...
