Introduction paragraph (2-3 paragraphs):

Fog computing is described as decentralizing computing and processing infrastructure by placing computing resources such as applications near the data source. This leverages the advantage of the cloud bringing its power closer to where data is produced and worked on. Often, edge computing is used interchangeably with fog computing due to the similar feature of bringing the processing and intelligence closer to the data. Today, the fast-paced emergence of the Internet of Things has seen sensors and devices get connected and consequently resulting in the production of large amounts of data. Analysis of this data occurs in the cloud. However, due to latency, storage issues, and bandwidth, the introduction of fog computing as an extension of cloud computing has extended its services to the edge.

Sounds like a helpful topic - lets please be sure it adds value beyond what is in any official docs and/or what is covered in other blog sites. (the articles should go beyond a basic explanation - and it is always best to reference any EngEd article and build upon it).

Please be attentive to grammar/readability and make sure that you put your article through a thorough editing review prior to submitting for final approval. (There are some great free tools that we reference in EngEd resources.) ANY ARTICLE SUBMITTED WITH GLARING ERRORS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED. Please be sure to double check that it does not overlap with any existing EngEd articles, articles on other blog sites, or any incoming EngEd topic suggestions (if you haven't already) to avoid any potential article closure, please reference any relevant EngEd articles in yours. - Approved
