Entering 2018, more and more people are getting used to smart speakers such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant at home to complete tasks such as shopping list, turning on and off lights. Compared with the sweeping robots that have entered ordinary people's homes a few years ago and are no longer new, these emerging smart devices will accelerate the transformation of production, life and social management to intelligent, refined, and networked directions. . Although we are getting more and more accustomed to talking to machines and letting them do some trivial tasks for us, the much-anticipated changes brought about by the Internet of Things are far more than that, but more far-reaching, in a smart city, The interconnection between machines in an increasingly interconnected world. The topic of Internet of Things technology has been hotly discussed for a long time, and now there is finally some substantial progress. In the past ten years, smart city projects have been launched around the world. Deloitte’s latest "Super Smart City Report" shows that there are currently more than 1,000 smart cities that have been launched or under construction worldwide. In terms of the number of under construction, China ranks first with 500 pilot cities. As China has written smart cities into its national strategy and invested a lot of money, smart city projects have been implemented in first-tier cities or small and medium-sized cities, and several large-scale smart city clusters have been formed, distributed in the eastern coast and central China. Western Region. At the same time, the popularization of IoT technology is also a major business opportunity. In recent years, driven by policies such as Made in China 2025, Internet + Double Innovation, China's Internet of Things industry has ushered in breakthrough development. According to the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Internet of Things (2016-2020) by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, it is expected that the Internet of Things industry system will be basically formed by 2020, and the overall industrial scale including perception manufacturing, network transmission, and intelligent information services will break through 1.5 Trillion yuan. However, before we fully understand the emerging world of Internet of Everything and the business opportunities brought by the Internet of Things, we must first allocate appropriate resources to manage these technologies, because the amount of data brought by the Internet of Things is unprecedented in history. In the past, data processing was only the task of "IT personnel", but now each of us, especially business leaders who want to get involved in the Internet of Things, must start to think about data processing. Existing large-scale data processing methods are only to transfer the data back to the data center (that is, the small room in the office where few people enter, or the public computer room). Most people know nothing about data centers except for their existence and what they seem to have to do with data and computers. For all fields of technology, the data center may seem boring, but it is vital. They control almost everything. Without a data center, even simple tasks such as sending emails can't be completed, let alone creating a complex system of multiple interconnected devices that keep communicating with each other. Traditional data centers are bulky, heavy, and expensive machines. But all technologies are constantly being updated. In order to meet today's digital needs, the volume of the data center is also being reduced a little bit, and the functionality and practicability are constantly improving. The real-time face scanning technology used in major events or similar occasions may require 1,000 cameras to scan thousands of faces in real time from different angles at the same time, and the data generated must also be combined with data from police radios, on-site services and other equipment. Integration. Currently, we do not have enough bandwidth to efficiently process these data through traditional networks. If there happens to be a large core data center or public data center nearby, it may be able to alleviate the urgent need, but such a solution may not be found every time. In this type of situation, no delay in data processing is allowed, and all equipment must be able to operate normally in real time. So how to solve this problem? The answer is edge computing. Edge computing narrows the distance between computing and devices. Edge refers to devices that can communicate with each other, such as mobile phones, sensors, wearable devices, laptops, and all products that can be remotely connected to the network or other devices. Edge computing generally refers to small edge data centers that can process large-scale facial recognition data. Then, in the above situation, we can place the edge data center in the stadium to process the data in real time. Of course, the edge data center will also be connected to other resources, such as public cloud or private cloud environment, but it is the field devices that actually process the data. At present, we do not have enough edge resources to support the ambitious development plan of the Internet of Things, but if we want to continue to develop the Internet of Things, this must be changed. Because edge computing is not necessarily the most exciting part of the Internet of Things, but if you want to really set off a revolution in the Internet of Things, edge computing may be the most indispensable part.
