Abstract
Systems and methods for utilizing distributed computing and storage resources intelligently select processing and/or storage resources of cell sites, data centers and/or other computing nodes and tap into these available processing and data storage resources to harness these resources on behalf of other remote devices to increase the amount of computing and storage data resources to perform tasks and store data for various services. The system predicts demand and usage and dynamically selects and adjusts utilization of computing resources to meet the demand and utilize otherwise idle systems. To improve latency and reduce network congestion by avoiding adding network traffic over longer and more complex routes, the system provides resources to particular remote devices based on the geographic proximity of the computing node to the particular remote device requesting the resources.
