The Concept Of Cloud Computing

Decent Essays

1. Introduction Over the years, computing concepts changing from distributed to parallel to grid to cloud computing. The evolution of computing is shown in Figure 1. Now a day, people choose cloud computing because of the advantages they get from cloud computing. The advantages are scalability, reduced management efforts, on-demand resource allocation and flexible pricing model (pay-as-you-go). Cloud computing has three service models: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). The basic concept of cloud computing and services is shown in Figure 2. Example of application or services using cloud computing are Microsoft OfficeLive, Dropbox, CluodNumbers, Google AppEngine, SalesForce …show more content…

Fog computing is extending of the cloud computing and services to the edge of the network. It overcome the limitation of cloud computing. Fog is “cloud closer to ground” (Mouradian et al. 2017). It give the advantage and power of the cloud because it closer to where data is created and acted upon. Fog computing, also known as fog networking or fogging. In fog computing it decentralized computing infrastructure including the operation of computer, data, application and storage in the most efficient place between data source and the cloud. The comparison between the fog computing and cloud computing is shown in Table 1. Table 1: Comparison between fog computing and cloud computing. Criteria Fog Computing Cloud Computing Latency Low High Delay Jitter Very low High Location of service At the edge of the local network Within the Internet Distance between client and server One hop Multiple hops Security Can be defined Undefined Attack on data enroute Very low probability High Probability Location awareness Yes No Geo-distribution Distributed Centralized No. of server nodes Very large Few Support for Mobility Supported Limited Real time interactions Supported Supported Type of last mile connectivity Wireless Leased line Fog computing is the mixture of cloud and internet of device. In fog computing, data processing had been done at local computing resources not in the remote cloud. The demographic proximity between the processors and data source will
