Don"t get lost in the fog
Cloud computing offers processing power and storage capabilities that few organisations can match, and for a relatively low cost. Indeed, there are those who believe one day, all our computing will reside in the cloud. However, there is a pressing issue with cloud computing and that is bandwidth which is why there is a new acronym in town – fog computing, which is inclined towards an element of local processing and storage. What’s more, it builds greater resilience into the system and gives greater protection to the most sensitive data. Its growth is fuelling demand from businesses for smaller, five-rack systems.
