Edge computing gets foggier
A few years ago Cisco coined the term ‘fog computing’ for edge computing in IoT networks. The industry recognised the need for harmonising this component of the IoT ecosystem, the name caught on and the OpenFog Consortium was formed in November 2015 with ARM, Cisco, Dell, Intel, Microsoft and Princeton University as founding members. One […]
A foggy IoT reference architecture
The OpenFog Consortium, initiated last year by Cisco to promote harmonisation in edge computing (aka fog computing) architecture for IoT networks, will release the first version of its reference architecture in September, ahead of its next members’ meeting scheduled for Austin, Texas September 27-28. OpenFog Consortium chair and senior director of Cisco’s Corporate Strategic Innovations […]
The computing fog thickens
Momentum behind fog computing, the Cisco-originated concept for edge computing in IoT networks, continues to build with release of what is claimed to be “the first truly open source, distributed fog computing stack for IoT,” and an upcoming fog computing conference boasting a list more than 40 speakers. Cisco originated the idea back in 2012 […]
