"'Fog Computing'" Does the Cloud Computing under risk?

Fog Computing Is A New Concept Of Data Distribution?

For the last couple of years there have hardly been any new concepts in cloud computing. But hardly doesn’t mean never. Since the summer of 2013 you might have noticed the appearance of a new trend that has been called Fog Computing.

The main purpose of fog computing is to gather services, applications, large data volumes in one place and unite them with the networks of a new generation.

The aim is to offer data, computing power, memory and services at a really distributed level. The thing is that today’s data is extremely dispersed and delivered continuously, in large volumes and to a large number of users with different devices. In order to make an effective cloud model, businesses need to learn how to deliver the content to their users via geographically distributed platforms and not via the cloud which is placed in one place.

The idea of fog computing is to distribute all data and place it closer to a user, remove network delays and other possible obstacles connected with data transfer. Users need all their data and apps at any time in any place – this is the essence of cloud services. And fog computing may take this service to the next level. The concept of this abstract fog is based on the concept of a drop (here we see why the concept has such a name). A drop is a chip of a microcontroller with built-in memory and data transfer interface, which is combined with wireless connection Mesh chip. Such a drop works on a small battery which is enough for a couple of years. You can connect different temperature, light, voltage sensors, etc. This drop is a basic technology for fog computing. With the help of such mini-chips it is possible to create really distributed network of data or devices all around the planet.


what are the possible advantages of using fog computing?

Firstly, with the help of fog computing you can place data closer to the final user, even geographically. Constant data circulation in the world makes providers to create new technologies for their local storage and caching. The drops allow keeping the data close to a user instead of storing them in a data-center somewhere far. It helps to escape possible delays in data transfer.
Fog computing also helps to provide quality service for mobile users. The administrator of your infrastructure gets access to such data as from where and how your users get information, and how fast the process is. It helps to improve the interaction with clients, and make this interaction safer. By controlling data in all node points, fog computing allows turning your data center into a distributed cloud platform for users.

Secondly, this concept is not something to be developed in the future. It is already here. A lot of companies already introduce fog computing, while other companies are ready for it. Actually, any company which delivers content can start using fog computing.
What is important is that fog computing is not a replacement for cloud computing. It’s an addition which develops the concept of cloud services. With “drops”, data became isolated in the cloud systems and close to users.

Retrieve Data from Database and Compare it with user input using Java

In this Lesson we will create a form page " form.jsp " that takes the user email. After that we will check the user existence in our DB. If the user email stored in the DB, a welcoming page will be opened to him/her. If the user is a new user then a message will be displayed that tells him/her this email is not stored in our DB. Note: I use access 2013 database and Eclipse Juno     Basic step, Create a new project: Open Eclipse then click on File > New > Other > Web > Dynamic Web Project. First, Load the DB class: In this step we will connect with database so we will gather all its code in a java class named " DBConnection.java " under a package called " code ". Expand your project then right click on java resources > New > Package . After-that Give a name for your package ex, code   Right click on your created new package that called code > New > Class.   After-that Give a name for your Class ex, DBConnection.

An attempt was made to insert a node where it is not permitted

Do you face this Error while you are writing code to generate xml file from java? Exception in thread "main" org.w3c.dom.DOMException : HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: An attempt was made to insert a node where it is not permitted.        at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.insertBefore(Unknown Source)        at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.NodeImpl.appendChild(Unknown Source)        at generatexml.WriteXMLFile.main( WriteXMLFile.java:30 ) Well the answer is: Don't insert the node where it isn't permitted. Change your generated directory file path from 'C' to other directory ex, D or to any directory you have. Make sure the ‘appendChild’ is referring to the right element. Don’t appending twice, only make it once. Ex, //Writetoxml.java   Element rootElement = doc . createElement ( " Company " );   doc . appendChild ( rootElement );                Element subElement = doc . cre

Do you want to know about your computer in one window screen?

System Toolbox (Sys Toolbox) If you want to know information about your computer from processor, drivers, motherboard, memory, operating system,...and more, you can depend on this software. Sys Toolbox (see screen shoot from the software) provides a software and hardware information for windows operating system. It is a simple software that you can use it to know about your PC. To run the software, you need to: Extract the zipped software.  After that, right click on the software icon and choose "Run as administrator". Finally, you will find a pop up screen telling you information about you PC. To go to the software site: http://sys-toolbox-pro.soft112.com/ To Download the software: Download
