Market Challenges

• Fog computing refers to extending centralized computing infrastructure to the edge of the network, providing processing capabilities as a service to devices and applications in real-time. While this can reduce latency and improve efficiency, it faces competition from low-cost cloud computing services, which are widely available on a pay-as-you-go basis. The competitive marketplace offers various pricing and volume options, making it challenging for fog computing to gain significant market share. Setting up fog computing infrastructure requires additional capital spending, network infrastructure, and skilled labor, shifting focus from applications to infrastructure management. Additionally, achieving a minimum service level agreement in a fog computing environment can be difficult due to the decentralized nature of the infrastructure. Furthermore, network nodes such as access points, base stations, routers, switches, and gateways can be utilized for fog computing operations, increasing competition from low-cost centralized and general-purpose computing infrastructure.
• The Fog Computing market is experiencing significant growth as businesses seek to address the challenges of smart home storage, high-speed data analytics, and decentralized computing in various sectors like cloud, machine learning, artificial intelligence, smart home, connected vehicles, smart energy, smart manufacturing, connected health, securities and emergencies, and more. Fog Computing provides real-time analysis in a fog environment, reducing the need for constant data transfer to the cloud. However, it presents new challenges such as cyberattacks, hardware requirements, and network bandwidth. Fog Computing solutions include routers, switches, sensors, gateways, and microdata centers. The Open Fog Consortium is driving the development of hybrid IT infrastructures, including fog nodes, IP video cameras, and ERP models, to address the needs of Industry 4.0. Policy controls, procedures, physical security measures, authentication, IP address, energy efficiency, network privacy, and wireless connectivity are crucial considerations for implementing fog computing solutions.
