ADLINK Technology has made the initial and ongoing contributions to the Eclipse fog05 project with the goal of providing a platform designed ground-up for addressing the industry’s pressing needs for Edge and Fog Computing. fog05 allows for seamless, decentralized management, provisioning and monitoring of infrastructure distributed across the Internet, spanning almost any system from data center servers to micro-controllers. The first release of fog05 under the Eclipse Development Process is a stepping-stone for accelerating the adoption of innovative edge and fog computing architectures. This release of fog05 enables users to leverage the power of decentralization in order to exploit local computation and maintain data where it makes the most sense. It also reduces the overall energy consumption of the system, thus contributing to a better energy footprint.
Along with Eclipse fog05, ADLINK’s Advanced Technology Office (ATO) is working on core innovations to support Edge and Fog Computing, most notably geo-distributed storage systems and converged data management infrastructures, which manage data in motion and at rest. These technologies are at the core of fog05 and available as platform services to applications, such as ADLINK’s zenoh. Moreover, the Eclipse fog05 and Eclipse zenoh projects are essential building blocks in realizing the edge computing vision shared by the members of the Eclipse Edge Native Working Group, of which ADLINK Technology is a strategic member.
ADLINK’s Advanced Technology Office innovations are focusing on decentralization and holistic efficiency -- including energy efficiency. As existing management infrastructures are geared toward a centralized data center, they can hardly adapt to address the challenges posed by edge and fog applications with respect to heterogeneity, resource constraints and geographical scale. Eclipse fog05 is the only platform designed from scratch which is focusing on fog and edge computing.
Eclipse fog05 is an open source project that addresses highly heterogeneous systems, even those with extremely resource-constrained nodes. It is currently experiencing massive adoption in the R&D community; for Edge or Fog Computing; as well as for Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC). In the past two years alone, Eclipse fog05 has been powering the most challenging demonstration of Edge Robotics, 5G MEC infrastructure. fog05 has also been recognized by ETSI as being compliant with MEC/NFV.
