VM-Based Cloudlets: Giving a Boost to Mobile Computing

Our mobile phones are great at sharing and processing information but do have limitations in terms of storage capacity and processing power.

VM-based cloudlets address these drawbacks, leading to seamless mobile computing.

Mobile computing has transformed the way people access, process, and share information. However, mobile devices often face significant constraints, such as limited battery life, processing power, and storage capacity. VM-based cloudlets have emerged as a solution to bridge the gap between mobile devices and remote cloud services, enabling seamless and efficient mobile computing.

What are VM-based cloudlets?

Cloudlets are small-scale, decentralised data centres located closer to end users.

They are designed to provide low-latency and high-bandwidth computational services. VM-based cloudlets rely on virtual machines (VMs) to deliver computational resources. These VMs encapsulate specific applications, enabling mobile devices to offload resource- intensive tasks to a nearby cloudlet rather than a distant centralised cloud.
