Market Challenges And Opportunities

Fog computing also called as fog networking or fogging is used for the architecture provided in the proximity of the users to provide seamless cloud computing user experience. It is also known as edge computing, as it facilitates the functions such as storage, computing, and networking services between the cloud data centers, end enterprise and user devices.

Requirement of managing service offerings at the network edge to enhance the efficiency and avoid the network bottlenecks, is expected to propel the growth over the forecast period

Proliferation of IoT and internet enabled devices has led to exponential increase in data generation and access requirement at the end user leading to significant increase in the traffic generated. Traffic patterns vary based on the user inclination, however, they are concentrated in the metropolitan areas across the globe. Inadequacy of the cloud and internet networks to efficiently manage the data stream across its regional expanse also adds to the requirement of infrastructure in the proximity of the users. Advent of connected technologies such as connected homes, buildings, smart energy, connected factory operations, connected vehicles, and OTT content are among the prominent factors anticipated to fuel the demand for fog computing methodologies to avoid the network bottlenecks.
