The future of 5G is on the edge.
Driven by the "new infrastructure" policy, China's 5G construction has entered the process of large-scale deployment and application innovation. According to the definition of ITU, the three mainstream scenarios of 5G, namely, Enhanced Mobile Broadband Service (eMBB), Mass Machine Communication (mMTC) and High Reliability and Low Delay (URLLC), all rely heavily on edge computing, and the 5G era will also be the era of edge computing.
In recent years, edge computing has attracted the attention of all countries. In recent 10 years, the number of articles and patents searched by Google with "edge computing" as the key word has increased as high as 15 times. With the gradual maturity of 5G, Internet of Things and AI, the number of intelligent applications will increase exponentially, and the development of cloud technology will also break through the bottleneck, and edge computing driven by market factors will play more roles.
Edge force plays an important role.
Compared with the traditional data center, most edge servers have poor external environment, small space, unsatisfactory heat dissipation and other effects, and have to deal with extremely complex computing environment. Edge computing nodes need to process data in real time and undertake new services such as AI, image recognition and video rendering, which requires them to improve their comprehensive ability during operation. Edge server is a scarce resource, and only a few suppliers such as Inspur Information can achieve mass production at this stage.
At the beginning of 20 19, inspur released the first edge server NE5260M5 based on OTII standard, which won the starting position on the edge computing track. NE5260M5 is specially designed for 5G, and can undertake application scenarios such as Internet of Things, MEC and NFV. The wall-mounted design can be deployed on the rack or directly hung on the wall, and the deployment environment is simple; NE5260M5 has many targeted designs in high temperature resistance, dustproof, corrosion resistance, electromagnetic compatibility and earthquake resistance. , and can withstand the harsh physical environment such as 85% relative humidity for a long time, with the highest working temperature of 45 degrees Celsius and the highest temperature of 55 degrees Celsius for eight hours; Support GPU accelerator card to realize artificial intelligence at the edge of 5G network.
The pace of development of the empowerment industry has accelerated.
The McKinsey report predicts that the value of edge computing will greatly increase after 2025, reaching 21500 million dollars. With the development of this technology, there will be more solutions at the scene application level, thus changing the industry from the bottom. At present, Inspur Information has made great achievements in technology research and development at this level, and it is connected with technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, vision and sensing to empower industrial transformation.
In the field of industrial automation, "edge" has been highly valued by practitioners. All information transmission between Inspur information intelligent factories, between people and equipment, between equipment, and even between factories and supply chains can be completed through digital collaboration, which can effectively shorten the cycle by 5-7 days and improve the efficiency by as much as 30%. Not only that, Inspur information's edge computing scheme in smart park design and smart tourism has been highly valued by all industries, and the edge server will be effective in the future.
