- Internet of Things (IoT) services are unstoppably demanding more computing and storage resources. Aligned to this trend, cloud and fog computing came up as the proper paradigms meeting such IoT services demands. More recently, a new paradigm, so-called fog to cloud (F2C) computing, promises to make the most out of both Fog and Cloud, paving the way to new IoT services development. Nevertheless, the benefits of F2C architectures may be diminished by failures affecting the computing commodities. In order to withstand possible failures, the design of novel protection strategies, specifically designed for distributed computing scenarios is required. In this paper, we study the impact of distinct protection strategies on several key performance aspects, including service response time, and usage of computing resources. Numerical results indicate that under distinct failure scenarios, F2C significantly outperforms the conventional cloud.
