One of the latest technology trends of 2017-2018 is "Fog Computing" or "Edge Computing". This new technology has opened the path to use cloud-based solutions in a real-time scenario where the time of data transfer is very crucial.
Fog computing or Edge computing as the name suggests is a metaphor for cloud computing or an advanced level of cloud computing which shifts the processing power to the edge of the network rather than the central server. This means now that systems which require quick data, like an emergency door, fire alarms etc can be used on the cloud-based platform too. As against the earlier scenario when the data from sensors would be sent to the central server for processing and that would add delay.
Fog computing is going to be the new trend in 2018. To know more about fog computing log on to www.globalitsvcs.com
