现在是真正关注边缘的时候了吗?

新的市场报告完全回答了这个问题。

鉴于围绕工业物联网(IIoT)展开的大肆宣传,因此,ARC 咨询集团作为领先的工业和基础设施技术研究和咨询公司,调查了现在是否到了应该切实关注边缘。

在工业环境中实现边缘计算,意味着可以近乎实时地获得适当的设备数据,以推动更好的决策,甚至可以控制工业流程。为此,边缘设备、嵌入式软件、边缘服务器、网关和云基础设施须始终保持正常运行。

哪些领域已在使用这种操作方式?哪些因素触发了设施的升级?获得安全可靠的分布式控制和分析系统需要多长时间?哪些公司目前正在将边缘用于工业物联网(IIoT)用例?公司如何规划投资和确定优先需求?针对这些问题, ARC调查了全球300多个终端用户,以评估目前和未来的市场状况。

I have 10 stratus clusters running with VM’s used for process-control. The installation and maintenance is easy. Also, to repair a cluster when 1 server is down is easy to perform. So for 24/7 performance it is a very good solution.

Every aspect of the ftServer platform—hardware, software, and service—is designed to prevent unplanned downtime,so we can rest assured that critical Nakano Sunplaza applications are always available. We gained all the advantages of fault-tolerant availability without the need for failover scripting, repeated test procedures or any extra effort to make applications cluster aware.

Mr. Masashi Miyauchi General Affairs Division, Nakano Sunplaza’s Administrative Head Office

The line stops when the server stops, so reliability is absolutely required for the server.
