Quickly explained: edge computing, cloud computing or fog computing?

You have probably come across the terms cloud, fog, or edge computing before. But what exactly do they mean? We at 3mobility solutions will enlighten you!

Let’s start with the term cloud computing. Cloud computing is a data storage system that is accessible via the Internet. This allows companies to store data and resources externally. The main advantages of cloud computing include cost reduction for the company, an increase in flexibility, and scalable solutions.

Fog computing is a hybrid of cloud and edge computing. Fog computing is a tool that intelligently sorts data. It decides whether this data is processed in the edge or in the cloud. This type of data optimization makes efficient use of as many resources as possible, which can lead to reduced delays.

Edge computing is about all data processing taking place at the edge, i.e. on the user’s end devices. In this way, the actual data processing can be shortened between the devices and the delay time can be greatly reduced.
