SONM – Supercomputing Using Fog Computing ICO begins
As the ICO for SONM is about to begin, we have prepared a Profile of the company.
SONM is a decentralized, open source structure where users can buy and sell computing power while building a market profitable to both. SONM uses fog computing, which unlike existing cloud-based computational systems (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and others) which use a centralized system where they utilize their own servers and computational power to achieve the same result.
Fog computing is defined in Wikipedia as:
An architecture that uses one or more collaborative multitude of end-user clients or near-user edge devices to carry out a substantial amount of storage (rather than stored primarily in cloud data centers), communication (rather than routed over the internet backbone), control, configuration, measurement and management (rather than controlled primarily by network gateways such as those in the LTE core network).
The internet backbone can be defined as the use of strategically interconnected computer networks and core routers on the Internet. While the bigger cloud-based computing companies use their own interconnected networks, SONM uses a different approach.
