Abstract: This work presents the concept of Fog Computing, its theoretical contextualisation and the related works, and performs the analysis of a Fog Computing to provide Storage as a Service (StaaS) on IoT devices using embedded systems platforms, in addition to comparing its results with those obtained by a high-performance server. In this paper, we use OwnCloud and Benchmark SmashBox (for data transfer analysis). The results showed that the implementation of this service in embedded systems devices can be a good alternative to reduce one of these problems, in this case, the storage of data, which currently reaches IoT devices.

Keywords: fog computing; cloud computing; IoT; embedded systems; StaaS.
