A novel technique to improve the performance of fog computing using fog terminal nodes

Abstract

Cloud computing is considered to be technological revolution in the past decade, due to its reliability and flexibility in enabling anything-as-a-service to the end users based on the key principle of utility computing. With the advent of IoT and Real-time data processing continuous usage of cloud services have incremented the dependency levels of Cloud Data Centres which in a while required high processing power as well as it will be hazardous to the environment. Addressing this problem several research studies have identified FoG Computing as a next generation computing platform that enhances the performance of the cloud servers by processing the data at the edge devices. This paper presents a novel fog computing framework that enhances the performance of the data migration reducing the effort on cloud servers.
