Performance analysis of StaaS on IoT devices in fog computing environment using embedded systems

Abstract

This work presents the concept of Fog Computing, its theoretical contextualisation and the related works, and performs the analysis of a Fog Computing to provide Storage as a Service (StaaS) on IoT devices using embedded systems platforms, in addition to comparing its results with those obtained by a high-performance server. In this paper, we use OwnCloud and Benchmark SmashBox (for data transfer analysis). The results showed that the implementation of this service in embedded systems devices can be a good alternative to reduce one of these problems, in this case, the storage of data, which currently reaches IoT devices.
