Edge computing has become the core technology.
The characteristics of 5G low latency and large bandwidth will provide enough transmission space for the processing of massive information. The construction of high-speed networks and the smoothness of the internal network are the keys to ensuring the efficiency of data circulation. Edge computing plays a key role in it. . Gartner predicts that data processed in edge computing will surge in the next four years, from 10% in 2019 to 75%.
In the process of realizing the transition from low speed to high speed, high standardization, high ease of use, and high versatility solutions are just needed; the market has formed a unified industry standard in the field of computing and storage, and the business models are compared Mature, for example, computing product developer NVIDIA has achieved annual sales of approximately US $ 10 billion and a valuation of nearly US $ 20 million; storage product developer MemBlaze has also completed financing of approximately US $ 100 million with a valuation of approximately US $ 1 billion .
However, there is a huge gap in the solutions in the network field, and the market is still in the blue ocean. The main reason is that it requires highly coupled hardware and software, and the industry has not yet formed a unified standard. In addition to the existence of giants such as AWS Nitro, there are very few unicorns like Pensando that are valued at $ 1 billion.
We learned that Li Shuang, the former general manager of Meituan Yun, will soon set up a company with edge computing technology as the core and provide third-party standardized ultra-high-speed network solutions-Dayu Zhixin. The product is integrated with hardware and software, and the demo is planned to be released by the end of 2020. At present, the team puts the competitiveness of the product on the construction of the software.
From the perspective of product architecture, the team adopted a different design idea from Pensando. Li Shuang, founder of Dayu Zhixin, stated that Pensando started from the hardware and expanded to the system application. At this stage, there is still a certain distance from the landing of the business scene. ; Dayu Zhixin will combine the specific needs of users, starting from application scenarios , and build the underlying system downwards, so as to achieve rapid commercialization.
The team can effectively support general edge functions such as offload, transmission, security, anti-jitter, and application development by implementing a standardized system for edge computing on the basis of hardware, and have the opportunity to gradually form an industry standard. In addition, the ultra-high-speed network standardization solution will implement most scenarios of plug and play , helping companies save a lot of design, debugging and development costs, release up to 40% of CPU performance, and achieve cross-generation server performance and network speed Promote.
Regarding the business model, the company will start with large and medium-sized Internet companies, large and medium-sized enterprises . These customers are generally faced with the problems of technological upgrades and business innovation, and need efficient and suitable solutions for application scenarios. . The company will continue to design the field on top of the standardized systemThe Jinghua application is packaged, sold, and updated, and subsequent license fees are charged. At present, it has reached customers in the Internet and financial fields.
Founder Li Shuang was the general manager of Meituan Yun, the technical director of Alibaba Network, and the chairman of Baidu System Technical Committee; the core team brought together technical experts from head manufacturers such as Ali, Baidu, Cisco Cloud, Huawei, and Lenovo.
Dayu Zhixin is about to complete angel round financing.
