In 2021, with the explosion of the metaverse, the discussion of related technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality and ultra-high-definition video transmission has become more and more intense, and the attention of all sectors of society to the ICT industry has continued to rise. The popularity continues until 2022, and the industry has a new consensus on these new concepts and new applications. In order to achieve a virtual space parallel to the real world and make the machine more intelligent, in addition to the support of hardware terminals and high-speed networks, it is also necessary to have enough computing power resources to process massive data.
On January 6, 2022, the "2022 ICT Industry Trend Annual Conference" hosted by China Industry and Information Technology Publishing and Media Group and hosted by ICT & Communication World All Media was held in Beijing, with the theme of "New Era of Digital Intelligence Industry, New Future of High-quality Development". Chen Yunqing, Vice President of the Research Institute of China Telecom Co., Ltd., was invited to attend and delivered a speech on the theme of "Development Trend of Edge Computing and Computing Network Technology".
Strengthen data processing capabilities
Become an important trend in the future
Through observation, it can be found that the traditional network information service paradigm originates from the 3G and 4G broadband network era, mainly solving the problem of Internet access and mobile applications. In the cloud service paradigm, network computing storage is beginning to take the stage, including IaaS and PaaS cloud-native applications in the process of enriching mobile applications, broadband applications, but also generated a large amount of data, this data must be with the help of network storage and computing three elements for production and transmission. In the new development paradigm of the closed loop of digital intelligence, a closed loop based on data, supported by computing power, and service capabilities will be formed. In this regard, Chen Yunqing expressed the first trend prediction: innovative enterprises based on massive user data, through algorithms to achieve efficient services, "data - algorithm - service" under the new development paradigm of digital core capabilities will become the focus of future industry competition.
AI technology is one of the most active technology areas in recent years, in 2021 a number of core technologies have come out of the bud and expansion period, after entering the mature and large-scale commercial stage will further promote the processing of data and the development of emerging artificial intelligence business. At the same time, in order to meet the changes in emerging AI intelligent services, information infrastructure will lead to a new round of innovation. Therefore, another judgment on the trend is that after data is used as the foundation of information infrastructure, artificial intelligence technology will lead the acceleration of data processing.
5 abilities
Carry new requirements for business development
With the improvement of the industry's supply-side capabilities and business needs also changing, from basic resource services to cloud-network integration services, and computing power integration innovation services are the key path to gain competitive advantage. Internet customers are an important source of IDC business revenue, at first the customer demand is only "rack + dedicated line", more single, partial to the physical layer. New requirements such as north-south access + multi-line + east-west networking, elastic bandwidth, and customized and rapid delivery of data centers are proposed, resulting in the transformation of business requirements into an overall service of elastically expanded, safe and reliable intelligent cloud network.
Based on the changes in actual business needs, Chen Yunqing said that the development trend is generally biased towards integrated big data innovation and collaboration, of which 5 capabilities are very important: one is to promote the network with numbers, build an integrated high-quality data center cluster and interconnection network, improve network capabilities, plan the layout and scale of hub nodes; second, enhance computing power, strengthen computing power services, optimize the resource structure of the east and west with computing power scheduling, and realize the hashing power scheduling of different regions and different cloud providers; the third is data circulation, promote cross-departmental, cross-regional, Cross-level data circulation and governance to create a digital supply chain; fourth, data innovation, strengthen the innovative application of data in the industry, establish a national model for digital transformation, and establish a data application service middle platform; fifth, system security, strengthen network and data security capabilities, build an autonomous and controllable basic environment, and promote the construction of a big data center security protection system.
Hashrate network
Is the "final answer" and the "ultimate goal"
When talking about the computing power network, Chen Yunqing believes that the future will realize the integration of resources and services. With the evolution of digital industrialization information infrastructure, the computing power supply model has developed from a single-point resource pool and a single-point application to a multi-level resource pool for collaborative computing, and an integrated supply model will be formed in the future by combining resources such as the network. Subsequently, he went on to add that in the single-point hash rate stage, the hash rate nodes are independent of each other, and the user's choice is single and limited. In contrast, the multi-level computing power stage can enable cloud, edge, and terminal multi-level computing power to coexist, and multi-level computing power can be coordinated according to business needs, and user choices can be diversified and oriented to the development of 4G/5G and edge computing. The next stage is the computing power network stage, the computing power node and the ubiquitous network connection are organically combined to form a flexible supply mode of multi-dimensional resources such as computing, storage, and network, that is, anytime, anywhere, unlimited computing power.
The value of the computing power network should ultimately be reflected in the integration of computing power and connection, maintain the consistency of users, and improve the efficiency of resource use, the network will become the foundation of the computing power network and the driving force for building a new business. The computing power network is the next stage of the evolution of the original IP network, and it is also the next stage of the evolution of the bearer network. Based on the ubiquitous network, the multi-dimensional resource supply provided by the computing power network connects a large number of idle resources for unified management and scheduling, solves the fragmented islands of various types of infrastructure to release resources, and integrates ubiquitous computing, storage and network resources to provide integrated services, so as to achieve efficient collaboration of "cloud, network, edge and end", flexible and dynamic deployment of services and consistency of user service experience.
