Fog computing: Cloud's evolution and computing on the edge

Cover Image

The concept of cloud, while never sharply defined, may be growing even less clear. The intenet of things, for example, means more connected devices are showing up in more places, an unstoppable trend that will affect the future of cloud computing.

These edge devices and related functions further blur lines between what is and is not considered cloud. There's a good reason these initiatives are often talked about as fog computing.

Explore all this in the cover story of this issue of Modern Infrastructure. We speak with experts and IT professionals about how edge and fog computing make a difference in how business is conducted. Having both data and the capability to process it so widely distributed -- rather than collected and centralized -- is a shift in thinking.

The future of cloud computing is headed in some unexpected directions, and IT infrastructures will need to adapt, as will our understanding of the cloud.
