Sponsored Content by Fogchain Corp.It was almost ten years ago that Silicon Valley gave its lofty forecast on the cloud. There is no mistaking that cloud computing is now a segment of the technology arena that turned out to be as revolutionary as it was promised it would be.Today the global public cloud market is nearing a colossal $200 billion and is growing at a 22% annual rate. Did you ever think in 2006 that Amazon Web Services would be the beast that it is today? The cloud computing division of Amazon is now worth over $17 billion!There are however limitations of current cloud computing and these limitations have led to one answer: Fog Computing. Fog computing extends the concept of cloud computing to the network edge, making it ideal for the internet of things (IoT) and many other applications.FogChain Corp. (OTC: FOGCF) (CSE:FOG) could be at the forefront of this powerful new trend with its unique platform and software suite.With its next-generation fully integrated software development, testing and deployment platform, the company provides developers with a suite of rapid development tools and resources for the creation of apps, smart contracts, mobile apps and decentralized apps (dApps).In a world where less than 1% of the potential compute power is utilized, FogChain Corp. (OTC: FOGCF) (CSE:FOG) is introducing the next generation of decentralized computing to the world of software development and application lifecycle management.Led by a team of Enterprise Software, Cloud and SaaS veterans that have over 120 years of combined experience and a wide range of deployments on a global basis from Small to Medium Sized Businesses to the Fortune 100 --- FogChain Corp. (OTC: FOGCF) (CSE:FOG) is developing a platform and software suite for consumer and enterprise customers.FogChain Corp.'s suite allows organizations to capitalize on the unlimited availability of decentralized resources, providing instant access to a scalable compute and storage environment specifically designed for software development, all wrapped in a secure Blockchain layer.Users can perform continuous software development, continuous integration, and continuous deployment.This is the era of new IT architecture...Cloud computing has revolutionized the way we use applications and store data but a decentralized system and blockchain-based marketplace can offer an alternative to the cloud through a fog computing structure.Fog platforms have been described as dense computational architectures at the network’s edge which reportedly have low latency, location awareness and use of wireless access. Benefits include real-time analytics and improved security.Fog is the most efficient network methodology to support fast transmission speeds, computing resources and utilization of storage, at large scale.Benefits of Fog Computing:
- Can leverage underutilized resources lowering costs
- Can leverage crowd computing expanding reach and scale
- Reduces data that needs to be transferred to the cloud thus improving security and performance
- Cloud is like having your car controlled from a computer miles away vs. the Fog which is like having the computer onboard - imagine the latency
- Integrates with the latest technologies including IoT, BlockChain, 3D & Virtual Reality engines, as well as analytics tools
In December of 2017, OpenFog Consortium surveyed its 61 member organizations on the state of fog computing and found that:
- 70% of CEOs are aware of fog computing initiatives within their organization
- IoT is the top application area for fog technology by a wide margin of 70%
The fog computing market opportunity will exceed $18 billion worldwide by the year 2022, according to a new report by 451 Research.
“Through our extensive research, it’s clear that fog computing is on a growth trajectory to play a crucial role in IoT, 5G and other advanced distributed and connected systems,” said Christian Renaud, research director, Internet of Things, 451 Research.

The Future of Software DevelopmentJust as the Internet provided the conduit to and democratized information for everyone, FogChain Corp. (OTC: FOGCF) (CSE:FOG) provides an easily accessible turn-key Software Development platform, and commercial-grade Application Lifecycle Management resources to developers, CIOs, and CTOs on a global scale.The RadJav BlockchainRadJav is a software development platform and decentralized datacenter. The RadJav Blockchain was built by application developers for application developers to provide a seamless environment to build and deploy applications across the web, desktop, or any mobile device.The goal of RadJav is to simplify app, dapp, and smart contract development and how these applications are deployed.What is RadJav?
- It is a general purpose JavaScript programming language that allows developers to create applications or games quickly. These applications or games run with the nearly the same performance and look across Windows, Mac OSX*, Linux*, and HTML5 all while using the same code.
- It currently has its own built-in blockchain with Segwit already activated.
- It will also be a decentralized datacenter when Blockchain V3 is released. This will allow developers to publish their applications or games to its built-in blockchain, which would execute their applications.
With RadJav:
- Developers can create nearly any app that can easily scale and deploy across multiple platforms.
- They can create their apps or games quickly while improving their security significantly.
- Developers will be able to create: desktop apps, mobile apps, web apps, desktop games, mobile games, web games, server apps, smart contracts, dapps, and more.
