Ability 4U 106-Bay: A Modular System Design
The modern age is marked by Big Data chronicling the activities of people, organizations, societies, cultures, and certainly whole nations. This abundance of data is characterized by extensive digitization of textual and numerical data archives. Such data archives come in the form of organizational data accumulated and stored over centuries; much of which has been recently consolidated, digitized, and provisioned by libraries, museums, scholars, scientists, governments, and commercial entities.
Every organization is data-driven and is benefiting from a mixture of on and off-premise data centers. The ever materializing Data Age signifies an extraordinary growth in data pools and data volumes that needs to be collected, processed, and stored.
To solve the complexity of this task, and continue to put data to work, a new infrastructure is emerging—a multi-layer IT 4.0 architecture connecting the cloud, edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and traditional enterprise data centers.
The Industry 4.0 Transformation: Architecting for AI, ML, and IoT
To completely appreciate the benefits of AI and ML computing—automated smart factories and smart cities—organizations must acquire top-quality hardware created to take on huge volumes of data. It should also facilitate a broad range of new manufacturing and IoT devices that are meant to function in extreme situations and environments.
IoT devices that power smart factories benefit from well-built, low-power storage devices developed to function in severe environments. This includes rigorous conditions like constant vibration, high elevation, high humidity, or even seismic noise. Furthermore, increasing demand for data has necessitated the need for storing and processing larger varieties of data with extended data retention.
Edge-Based Processing and Storage
The cloud is insufficient for processing and analyzing troves of data effectuated by IoT devices, connected vehicles, and other digital platforms. Accelerated data processing has long been considered a luxury. Today, accelerated data processing is a necessity in the world of the Industry 4.0 transformation.
Edge computing allows connected devices to process data nearer to where it is originates—the edge.
Edge-based data processing occurs either within the device itself (i.e. IoT sensors) or near the device. Big tech companies are researching edge computing, possibly bringing about the next considerable computing race.
Edge computing is transforming how data is handled, processed, and distributed. The burgeoning use of IoT devices, as well as new applications that require real-time computing power, continues to propel edge-computing systems.
Technologies such as 5G networks enable edge computing systems to accelerate the development and support of real-time applications (RTAs). RTAs include robotics, AI, self-driving vehicles, video processing and analytics, and more.
