YAKS: The Geo-Distributed Key Value Storage
With the raise of Edge and Fog Computing there is a growing need to maintain data locally, or at least as close as possible to where it is produced, while at the same time making it accessible globally. Yet, existing storage technologies are geared toward cloud-centric deployments, in which a pool of servers is used to shard and replicate the data. As a result there is a mismatch between the storage needs of Edge and Fog Computing applications and available technologies.
