Fog Computing News & Support Resources

January 5, 2018

Over the last few years, many people—myself included—have been touting the Internet of Things (IoT) as a driving force behind digital transformation. But is IoT by itself truly that transformational? Well, I would argue that it is not. IoT focuses mainly on securely connecting devices that generate data. It is a key element of disruption […]

Cisco: New Fog Standards Initiative Will Accelerate Digital Transformation

November 2, 2017

Cisco

To truly be transformative, the Internet of Things (IoT), needs to be able to handle massive amounts of data in near-real time for advanced use cases such as drones, self-driving vehicles, and embedded artificial intelligence (AI) applications. It also needs to be completely interoperable—from end-user devices and sensors all the way to the cloud. That’s […]

Cisco: Drones Rising from the Fog

September 3, 2017

Cisco

As adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) makes the world more “connected,” drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are no exceptions. We are seeing an increasing number of cloud-connected drones deployed for commercial applications. But what happens when there is an absence of continuous connectivity? Fortunately, fog computing can step in where wireless or […]

Cisco: ‘Crowd Control’ Takes Many Forms to Secure Fog Computing and IoT

February 10, 2017

Cisco

In my previous blog, I shared the importance of ubiquitous malware defense. Specifically, it’s critical as the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to proliferate, connecting a larger number of devices with vastly diverse capabilities. The answer is fog computing, because fog nodes bring more computing capabilities closer to the end devices and can work together […]

#StorageDebate Recap: Is Edge Computing a Waste of Time?

October 13, 2016

ClearSky Data

Last spring, we noticed a theme taking root within enterprise IT. As organizations struggled to keep up with massive data growth incited by sensors and devices creating Internet of Things (IoT) or machine data, they found it increasingly difficult to move that data to the cloud. Instead, they were turning to fog computing – or […]
