Description
Internet of Things (IoT) services are unstoppably
demanding more computing and storage resources. Aligned to
this trend, cloud and fog computing came up as the proper
paradigms meeting such IoT services demands. More recently, a
new paradigm, so-called fog to cloud (F2C) computing, promises
to make the most out of both Fog and Cloud, paving the way to
new IoT services development. Nevertheless, the benefits of F2C
architectures may be diminished by failures affecting the
computing commodities. In order to withstand possible failures,
the design of novel protection strategies, specifically designed for
distributed computing scenarios is required. In this paper, we
study the impact of distinct protection strategies on several key
performance aspects, including service response time, and usage
of computing resources. Numerical results indicate that under
distinct failure scenarios, F2C significantly outperforms the
conventional cloud.
