On October 21, the 8th Asia-Pacific Content Distribution Conference was grandly held in Beijing. Relying on its first-mover advantage, technical strength and rich practice in the field of edge computing, Alibaba Cloud won the title of "Leader in Edge Computing".
With the acceleration of China's 5G commercial process, application scenarios with large bandwidth, large connections, and low latency will explode, which will urge the transformation of the production industry. Industrial changes such as ultra-high-definition, large-capacity interactive video, and massive terminal connections for the Internet of Everything will surely bring about With changes in the computing environment, a large number of edge computing business needs will follow. Edge computing will keep pace with cloud computing and become a ubiquitous core infrastructure.
In this context, this conference will take "Reverse·Growth" as the theme, and discuss industry changes with industry leaders in cloud computing, the Internet, and operators, and seek innovation and development. At the same time, the conference launched the Golden Second Award to commend pioneers in promoting industrial upgrading in the 5G era.
This time Alibaba Cloud was awarded the "Leadership in Edge Computing", which means that Alibaba Cloud's edge computing has been unanimously recognized by the industry in terms of business innovation, technical strength, and product services.
Since April 2018, Alibaba Cloud took the lead in the industry to launch the Edge Node Service (ENS), Alibaba Cloud Edge Computing has always been aiming at creating "computing closer to users" and continuously deepening the deployment of edge computing node resources And coverage, and further integrate and release Feitian's computing power scheduling, containers, functions, security, big data and AI and other technical capabilities. In the process of continuous deepening of product and technological innovation, Alibaba Cloud has launched the country's first global edge node. The computing power of 300+ edge nodes basically covers the three major operators in the capital cities of the country and the third-tier cities in popular areas, and the computing delay is controlled. Within 10 milliseconds.
In order to meet the needs of massive view computing applications in the 5G era, Alibaba Cloud Edge Computing has carried out a comprehensive product and technical capability upgrade focusing on the direction of video uploading and processing. In September of this year, Alibaba Cloud officially released the edge computing video cloud solution. The solution aims to rely on the city-level cloud computing infrastructure to realize the nearby cloud computing of massive view data, and further shorten the computing delay to 5 milliseconds. Reduce view storage costs by 50%, improve the processing effect of ultra-high-definition videos and millions of concurrent videos, and combine with a new generation of GPU/NPU servers to increase the computing performance of AI to more than 200%, helping industries to maximize the exploration of views The value of data.
It is understood that under the "integrated" product strategy, the Alibaba Cloud edge computing video cloud solution is divided into two levels: the basic product layer and the video PaaS product, making it easier for customers and partners to choose appropriate products for integration.
Up to now, Alibaba Cloud edge computing and industry partners have jointly created solutions for 5 major scenarios and 15 market segments, covering transportation, new retail, education, smart housing and construction, homes and other scenarios to help the digital upgrade of the industry.
