The arrival of 5G will increase access terminals, thereby increasing the demand for backbone networks.
Exclusively learn that “ View Pulse Technology ” In September 2019, it received a 250 million yuan B + round of financing. This round of financing was led by Junlian Capital, followed by investments from Hainer Asia Venture Capital (SIG) and Northern Light Venture Capital.
SD-WAN has been the fastest growing direction in enterprise services in the past few years. The reason is that more and more businesses migrate to the Internet, especially the migration of production systems, leading to stringent network quality requirements. These requirements cannot be met by traditional CDN technologies. Because the data is often real-time and dynamic, customers want network resources to be as flexible as cloud computing, buy on demand, and adjust bandwidth in real time.
SD-WAN stands for Software Defined Wide Area Network in English. From the perspective of resource supply and demand, it is more suitable to be called NaaS (Network as a Service).
NaaS, like IaaS, is a business with low entry barriers but very difficult to do well. Enterprise customers simply build virtual machines on the cloud service provider’s platform, and then use these virtual machines as a springboard for acceleration to achieve acceleration, but the effect of optimization can be limited. And companies that can really do a good job of NaaS services need to optimize differently from the second layer data link layer, third layer network layer, four layer transmission layer and seven layer applications by building a dedicated virtual network on the Internet, thereby solving The bottleneck in real-time transmission meets the needs of scenarios such as global game server, online real-time interaction, inter-cloud communication, hybrid cloud, and mobile office.
Miao Quan, the CTO of Guanmai Technology, has accumulated in this field. Before founding Guanmai, he successively served as the technical leader of the CDN Distribution Research Institute of Tsinghua University, Lanxun Rich Media and Download Division, and the North American R & D Center. In addition, he is the inventor of the network evaluation algorithm and holds several national invention patents for CDN technology. He mentioned that, In addition to game acceleration, real-time interaction, and mobile office scenarios, the popularity of 5G will accelerate the development of NaaS services. Compared with 4G, 5G adds high-bandwidth, ultra-low-latency, and wide-link capabilities, but 5G technology itself is more inclined to improve the communication between the transmission terminal and the base station, so the core network performance requirements will be greatly improved. It’s also an opportunity for NaaS startups.
Li Jian, CEO of Guanmai Technology, said that after this round of financing, the company will focus on 5G network application directions, including high-end talent.
