Fog computing and edge computing have had an enormous impact on the ability to effectively deploy IoT applications, enabling the distribution of compute resources.
The Open Fog Consortium defines Fog Computing as "A system-level horizontal architecture that distributes resources and services of computing, storage, control and networking anywhere along the continuum from Cloud to Things."
In his
Fog Computing report, Aapo Markkanen at Machina Research puts Digi in this category. Speaking of Digi Remote Manager, he said "Digi is well placed to a make a play in fog computing, given its strong communications portfolio and additional capabilities [for] device management." We couldn't agree more!
