Fog :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>Fog
so that's cloud services marketed for other cloud services?

>>56676844
no, it's a local mini cloud used by devices in it's proximity
it tries to provide the cloud services within it's computational capabilites, resorting to the cloud servers when it cannot

Is fog really the best marketing term they could come up with?

>>56676898
well, if they called it cloudlet people would start yelling
CLOUDLET FOR MANLETS
>CLOUDLET FOR MANLETS
CLOUDLET FOR MANLETS

in every comment section and soon the memes would kill the idea

why dont they just say server/mainframe?

>>56676929
because that's not how it works

Im well ahead of them. Raindrop computing is the best.

>>56676929
Because muh cloud.

>because that's not how it works
That's exactly how it works you dork. Fog is a marketing buzzword nothing more.

So basically decentralization and/or specialization of cloud services for certain tasks?
Seems interesting, but still:

There is no cloud, just other people's servers.

>>56676891
Oh, so it pretty much just delegates most of the work to edge devices.
Sounds like this equals more end-user devices

There are no servers, just computers

They couldn't come up with something more fancy? Isn't fog just ground level ozone?

I don't fucking get this.
They all mean the same thing- someone else's server.
Why the fuck would you come up with a buzzword to confuse people when a perfectly good word already exists to describe the exact same thing? Is this some sort of Jewish HR/PR meme?
