Cloud Computing Services
There are several cloud computing services.The three major cloud
computing services are:
Software as a Service (SaaS) :
Examples of SaaS - are GoogleWorkspace, Dropbox,Microsoft Office
365
Platform as a Service (PaaS):
Examples of PaaS – areWindowsAzure, Heroku, Force.com, Google
App Engine
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
Examples of IaaS are - AmazonWeb Services (AWS), Cisco Metapod,
Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine (GCE),

Fog Computing
Fogcomputing is an extension of the cloud.
Fog computing uses the concept of‘fog nodes’ which are
located closer to the data source and have a higher processing
and storage capability
Fog provides the missing link for what data needs to be
pushed to the cloud, and that can be analyzed locally, at the
edge.
This makes fog nodes to process data quicker than sending
the request to the cloud for centralized processing.
4.
What distinguishesfog computing from cloud computing is its
closer proximity to small end-users, its wider consumer reach,
and better mobility.
Rather than requiring devices to go through the network
backbone infrastructure, fog computing permits devices to
connect directly with their destination with ease and allows them
to handle their connections and tasks in any way they see fit.
As a result, fog computing improves the quality of service,
reduces latency, and enhance user experience.
For example – we can apply fog computing in video surveillance,
where continuous streams of videos are large and cumbersome to
transfer across networks.
5.
Internet of Things(IoT)
As per the definition of Oracle.com, Internet ofThings
(IoT) is a network of physical objects or people referred to
as “things” that are equipped with software, electronics,
networks, and sensors to collect and exchange data.
The term has recently been added to the Oxford dictionary
and is defined as:“The interconnection via the Internet of
computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling
them to send and receive data”.
6.
IoT aimsat extending Internet connectivity beyond computers
and smartphones to other devices people use at home, or for
business.
The technology allows devices to be controlled across a network
infrastructure remotely.
As a result, it cuts down human effort and paves the way for
accessing connected devices easily.
With remote control, the devices can be used without involving
human interaction.
IoT makes things virtually smart through Artificial Intelligence
algorithms, data collection, and networks to enhance our lives.
Some Limitations ofIoT
Security and privacy
Connectivity and power dependence
Complexity and Integration
Higher Cost

How Does IoTWork?
A complete IoT system integrates four component.
Sensors/devices
First, sensors or devices collect data from their environment.
Examples includes temperature sensors, proximity sensors,
humidity sensors, smoke sensors, water quality sensors, infrared
sensors, motion sensors etc.
Connectivity
The collected data is sent to the cloud through a variety of methods
including cellular, satellite,Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or connecting directly
to the Internet via Ethernet. Choosing which connectivity option
associated to the specific IoT application required.
11.
Data Processing
DataProcessing-The software processes the data after it is
transferred to the cloud.
This could be very simple, like making sure the temperature
reading is within permissible limits, or highly complicated,
like utilizing computer vision to detect things in the video
(like intruders in your house).
But what happens if the temperature gets too high or if
someone breaks into your home?The users might steps in at
this point as required.
12.
User Interface
the information is made available to the end-user through an
alert to the user (email, text, notification, etc.).
Depending on the IoT application, the user may also perform
an action and affect the system.
For example, the user might remotely adjust the
temperature in the cloud storage via an app on their phone,
or system could take actions automatically based on
predefined rules.
13.
Application of InternetofThings
Technology-based innovations like IoT are going to have a
vital role in areas such as healthcare, economy, marketing,
finance and banking, and government sectors.
It uses advanced levels of automation, connectivity, and
customization.
14.
Smart Home-Smoke detector, light bulbs, appliances, door and
window locks, pet monitoring camera, smart thermostat.
Smart City -Traffic Management,Waste management, andWater
Distribution.
Supply chain- Real-time goods tracking and getting inventory
information.
Connect Health- Patient care, calorie expenditure, heart rate
pattern, temperature, activity levels, etc.
Connected cars- Automobile companies can automatically perform
billing, insurance, parking, and more.
Smart outlets- turning a device on/off remotely, tracking the energy
levels of a device, etc.
