Fog Computing

 

What Is Fog Computing

Fog computing, also called fog networking or fogging, describes a decentralized computing structure located between the cloud and devices that produce data. This flexible structure enables users to place resources, including applications and the data they produce, in logical locations to enhance performance. 



Fog computing maintains some of the features of cloud computing, where it originates. Users may still store applications and data offsite, and pay for not just offsite storage, but also cloud upgrades and maintenance for their data while still using a fog computing model. Their teams will still be able to access data remotely.

 



Fog computing, a term created by Cisco, also involves bringing computing to the network’s edge. However, it also refers to the standard for how this process should, ideally, work. This is especially important for Internet of Things connected devices, which generate massive amounts of data.

 



Fog computing includes edge processing as well as the necessary infrastructure and network connections for transporting the data.

 Advantages of fog computing include:

Minimize latency. Keeping analysis closer to the data source, especially in verticals where every second counts, prevents cascading system failures, manufacturing line shutdowns, and other major problems.

Conserve network bandwidth many data analytics tasks, even critical analyses, do not demand the scale that cloud-based storage and processing offers. Meanwhile, connected devices constantly generate more data for analysis. Reduce operating costs. Processing as much data locally as possible and conserving network bandwidth means lower operating costs.

Enhance security. Whether in transmission or being stored, it is essential to protect IoT data. Users can monitor and protect fog nodes using the same controls, policies, and procedures deployed across the entire IT environment.

Improve readability because IoT devices are often deployed under difficult environmental conditions and in times of emergencies, conditions can be harsh. Fog computing can improve reliability under these conditions, reducing the data transmission burden.

Boost business ability only by knowing what resources customers need, where they need those resources, and when the support is needed can businesses respond to consumer demand quickly. Fog computing allows developers to develop fog applications rapidly and deploy them as needed.

Pegasus Spyware: Flying Through The Air

 Hundreds of millions of people can't imagine life without their smartphones. Almost every aspect of their daily lives, from the most mundane to the most intimate, is within easy reach and hearing distance of their smartphones. Only few people realize that their phones may be used as surveillance devices, with someone hundreds of miles away secretly extracting their messages, photographs, and location while also activating their microphone and recording them in real time. Such capabilities are present in Pegasus, a spyware produced by NSO Group, an Israeli maker of mass surveillance weapons. What is Pegasus? Pegasus is a hacking software – or spyware – that is developed, marketed and licensed to governments around the world by the Israeli company NSO Group. It has the capability to infect billions of phones using either iOS or Android operating systems. The spyware is named after Pegasus, the white winged horse from Greek mythology. It is named so because it "flies through the...

8 TECH SUPPORT STORIES. A MUST READ!

MOVE THE MOUSE! I asked a user to move her mouse all the way to the right. They picked up the mouse physically and put it on the right side of her desk. RIGHT CLICK! I told the user to right click on the desktop to select properties. She replied that nothing was happening. I asked her again to do the same. She replied with the same answer. When I went to her desk, she had written the word CLICK on a paper on her desk. LAPTOP NOT WORKING! A user was once shouting at me that her laptop was not working even though she hit the keys and tried the touch pad. I run down to her, she shows her laptop still shouting that I wasn’t working properly and couldn’t do my job etc. I look at her laptop, switch it on, turn around and leave the room. OUTAGE PROBLEM! A user once asked if they could download “download the Internet” in case there was a power outage and they could still use it. COMPUTER WON’T TURN ON! Once, a user said that her computer won’t turn on. I asked her to check ...

HOW TO SEE INCOGNITO HISTORY AND DELETE IT

We have heard about private or incognito browsing. It’s the mode that doesn’t store anything in history. While it does store cookies, but are deleted after the session is exited. This mode is known as Incognito browsing in Google Chrome, Private Browsing in Mozilla Firefox, and InPrivate Browsing in Internet Explorer. Whatever we may want to call it, the mode works the same in all browsers. However, sometimes we might want to go back to a page that you previously opened. The question is – can you check your incognito history? Problem is, there is no easy way to go back to that page. So all are search queries we saw is effectively lost. Unless you can Google it up and it shows again. But if it’s not there on the first page of Google, it’s gone forever. But we can still get to know about the websites that have been browsed under the incognito mode. Yes, the private browsing mode has a loophole. You can see the browsing history of someone using incognito mode but only if you h...
