Everything about Dew computing

Information technology paradigm

Dew computing is an information technology (IT) paradigm that combines the core concept of cloud computing with the capabilities of end devices. It is used to enhance the experience for the end user in comparison to only using cloud computing. Dew computing attempts to solve major problems related to cloud computing technology, such as reliance on internet access. Dropbox is an example of the dew computing paradigm, as it provides access to the files and folders in the cloud in addition to keeping copies on local devices. This allows the user to access files during times without an internet connection; when a connection is established again, files and folders are synchronized back to the cloud server. Wikipedia →
