Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On September 22, the new product release and partner meeting of Wave Information Edge Computing was held in Beijing. This conference brings together many industry experts, user representatives and partners to discuss issues such as industrial collaboration, standards co-construction and technological innovation under the trend of edge computing diversification, build a full-stack, forward-looking, open and integrated edge computing infrastructure, accelerate the integration of various edge workloads and digital services, and drive digital transformation.

In the era of wisdom, all digitization and intelligence are driving computing everywhere, and the new "data-centric" business model accelerates the extension of computing power from the data center to the edge. Wave Information believes that with the deeper integration of edge computing and artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of things, 5G and other technologies, edge computing infrastructure will become the intersection of IT, CT, DT and industry OT, making computing reach the boundary of digital perception, and E2X (Edge to everything) will build a "super neural network" of the future digital-real fusion world. For this reason, on the one hand, Chaochao Information is committed to creating a "base" of edge computing to meet the needs of diversified and fragmented scenarios, and on the other hand, it promotes the ecological integration of marginal industries through the co-construction of open standards, and constructs the edge computing + product and ecosystem of "products lead to pluralism, standards promote integration", so as to promote the realization of E2X.

The edge is pluralistic and the standard comes first

Although more and more enterprises pay attention to edge computing and put it into action, there are still major challenges in practice. In the production environment of thousands of industries, there are a large number of different kinds of equipment, protocols and applications, the equipment interface is difficult to be unified, the systems are independent of each other, and the data is difficult to interconnect. Edge computing is facing multiple challenges of multi-scenarios, multi-technologies and multi-ecology.

First of all, the implementation of edge scenarios is accelerating, and the deployment of edge computing product solutions is put forward by multiple scenarios in seven areas: ICT convergence, new generation CDN, intelligent Internet of cars, industrial Internet, industry + AI, urban governance, and intelligent Internet of things. Secondly, as a technology enabling platform, edge computing will naturally be deeply integrated with AI, big data, cloud and other technologies, and edge computing products need to meet the growth characteristics of multiple technologies. Finally, edge computing is faced with the problem of ecological integration across IT, CT and OT. For example, there are a variety of protocol interfaces in the field of OT, the problems of industrial bus interconnection and integration, the problem of data synchronization caused by different communication protocols in the field of CT, and so on.

Tian Hui, director of the Fusion and Innovation Research Center of the China Academy of Information and Communications, said: "Edge computing covers many application areas such as mobile Internet, Internet of things, vehicle Internet, etc., and the device connection and data interaction on the edge side of the network are more complex. Standardization will help to improve the compatibility and interoperability of edge computing systems, and accelerate the popularization of edge computing technology. This will play an important role in promoting technological innovation and supporting the further development of the marginal computing industry. "
