Fog Computing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Internet of Things From Hype to Reality

Abstract

Fog computing is a platform for integrated compute, storage, and network services that is highly distributed and virtualized. This platform is typically located at the network edge. This chapter discusses the main drivers for Fog computing, its prerequisites and enabling technologies as well as the technical gaps that remain to be solved in this space.
