Mark Hambleton: The Fog
summary
Argues that pushing data‑center services to the edge — called The Fog — solves latency, privacy and connectivity failures by running compute, storage and control on local clusters. Cites OpenFog consortium (founded Nov 2015 with Intel and arm) and an eight‑pillar reference architecture, demands like identity and trust, standardized over‑the‑air updates, and multi‑architecture runtimes. Gives concrete wins: HD video analytics that filters streams locally, drone autonomy with low‑latency control, and Swim’s deployment that converts sensor readings into stateful transactions at the edge.
