The beginner's guide to RAIN & Fog

Every business today uses the internet. This naturally involves the use of networks. The network is an interconnection of multiple devices, termed as hosts connected using multiple paths for the purpose of transmission and reception of data. When the centralized server fails, the organization’s data is at risk. The performance of the entire network degrades when control plane processes fail, as is the case when routing convergence requires additional memory. These challenges compromise network performance, thereby creating a need for an architecture that combines standard computing and networking hardware with management software to create a system that is more distributed and scalable. This whitepaper identifies the challenges faced by IT professional’s inefficient migration of business applications to Cloud, and provides an efficient business strategy for delivery of application transformation. Additionally, the white paper addresses different cross-slicing issues that are integral to application transformation.
