With cloud computing, corporations have been able to migrate their IT departments to an external service provider, including applications, infrastructure, and even personnel. I see fog computing the natural evolution of this situation, where the cloud "descends to the ground level" and encompasses and infiltrates the corporation itself, including applications, hardware, and personnel. As mention above, this might mean application tiers divided internally and externally. It also means tiers of infrastructure and the supporting personnel. In general, all three models are currently supported seperately (cloud computing, infra leasing and support, and IT support outsourcing), fog computing incorportates all three.
