Abstract
As the world becomes increasingly digitized and interconnected, data is being generated at an unprecedented rate. The processing, storage, and analysis of this data have become critical to many industries, from healthcare to manufacturing, from transportation to finance. With the increasing use of IoT devices and accessing the Cloud computing services, it is essential to improve the computing power. Cloud computing has been the dominant paradigm for handling these tasks for more than a decade. However, with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), the rise of edge computing and fog computing has challenged the dominance of cloud computing. The Fog and edge computing are two new extending cloud technologies of cloud computing. In this paper, all three computing technologies are differentiate based on some specific parameters such response time, storage, computing power, latency etc.
