Did you know that by 2020 it is expected that up to 65% of all enterprises will be using IoT devices? It is becoming increasingly obvious as well that the IoT and the cloud have an inseparable Romeo and Juliet type relationship, however, only about a third of the data collected by sensors worldwide are analyzed at the source. For the past decade or so, cloud computing has dominated the IoT industry and has been used by enterprises for all IoT components. Pushing workloads to remote servers has become the industry standard for almost all data processing and storage. This has created many challenges, but in particular, in areas such as latency, network bandwidth, reliability, security, and more. To overcome these challenges, new forms of computing have been created to extend cloud computing to the edge of an enterprises’ network. Two of these forms of computing include fog and mist computing.
