Edge computing will speed up during the landing period, and the new products of Netshop technology will quickly open up the market space

With the full deployment of 5g commercial, edge computing standing on the tuyere is accelerating and entering the landing period. Both upstream and downstream of the industrial chain are increasing their layout. As one of the core players in the field of edge computing, Netshop technology also seizes the opportunities of the tuyere through product innovation. On August 25th, at the Asia Pacific content distribution conference and CDN summit, Netshop technology and the new generation CDN Pro platform made an appearance, showing the industry its milestone achievements in the integration of CDN and edge computing capabilities.
"Many enterprises have benefited from edge computing, and the deployment speed of the enterprise side will be further accelerated in the future. The purpose of the webmaster is to create CDN Pro based on the edge cloud, which aims to enable enterprises to build personalized business systems on the edge side, realize agile iteration, and gain more value through programmable delivery functions. CDN Pro is expected to open up the market space of edge computing for the company." Ni bin, CTO of cdnetworks, overseas branch of netsu technology, said at the meeting.

Although the importance of edge computing has been highlighted, its implementation is not easy. "To achieve edge, you need to have a lot of business and technical capabilities. You may need to rethink the network thoroughly to enable edge computing." Said Tilly Gilbert, STL's chief adviser.
CDN is a recognized "shortcut" to landing. Insiders believe that CDN itself has the form of edge computing. Based on the resource scale and edge capability of CDN, expanding from CDN to edge computing will not only be easier to realize technically, but also have more advantages.
IDC's discovery that "the two areas that will make the largest investment in edge in 2022 will be the content delivery network (CDN) and the virtual network function, which together will generate an expenditure of nearly $26 billion" also confirms the status of CDN.
It is understood that nethome technology has been exploring the field of edge computing since 2011. In recent years, it has promoted the cloud upgrading of CDN, built the edge computing platform ECP, and took the lead in completing the integrated business layout from underlying resources to applications to solutions. At present, Wangsu technology has more than 2800 global node resources. Edge computing products have served customers in online education, video, games, Internet of vehicles, smart farming and other industries.
"On the basis of the existing deep cultivation and accumulation, we combined the market prospect to create CDN pro. CDN Pro can sink more business applications to the edge, improve product performance, reduce development and delivery cycle, and realize the efficient and seamless connection between CDN and software business development life cycle." Ni Bin said.
Take a customer as an example. It needs to modify the original edge user-defined authentication rules. In the traditional CDN service, the customization needs to be modified, changed, verified and put on line, and the cycle needs at least one month. Through the programmable delivery function of CDN pro, users can build script logic by themselves, reducing the time to put the needs on line to less than 30 minutes.
"This delivery efficiency has been multiplied. Today, when the speed of innovation has increasingly become the vitality and competitiveness of enterprises, CDN Pro can become a powerful helper for enterprises' edge innovation and benefit enterprises."
Innovation paradigm leads industry development
It is reported that the Asia Pacific content distribution conference and CDN summit is an industry event with wind vane significance. It not only presents the most valuable technical exchanges and discussions in the field of CDN and edge computing, but also predicts the future development direction of the industry.
As the world's leading CDN service provider, netshu technology has been invited to attend the conference for many years, and every appearance has attracted attention. People on the scene said that the innovation of CDN pro in terms of technical architecture, product concept, business model, etc. may cause industry thinking.
According to Ni Bin's introduction, the core value of CDN Pro mainly includes three aspects.
First, open the edge computing power to provide 100% self-service experience. The open programmable architecture of CDN Pro has changed from "oriented to operation and maintenance personnel" to "oriented to developers". It provides a complete development environment, including documents, APIs, version management, test environment, report analysis tools, etc. it can quickly realize the debugging and launching of complex requirements and realize comprehensive self-help.
The second is to seamlessly connect with third-party services to meet personalized and agile needs. CDN Pro will not replace the existing cloud computing and various kinds of edge computing. Instead, it plays the role of "adhesive". It interfaces with multiple third-party edge or cloud service components through an open and standard HTTP interface to provide services with complex logic and excellent performance.
In addition, it is "charge on demand" to realize cost control. According to the product form of cloud service, CDN Pro charges based on CPU power consumption and node traffic cost, which is more clear and transparent, and can better meet the needs of enterprise it cost fine control.
"This pricing model is the first in the industry. At present, the market still needs some time to accept it." After the meeting, Ni bin further said in an interview with reporters.
"However, cdnpro has been operating overseas for nearly two years. According to customer feedback, many Internet head customers have highly recognized CDN pro. These customers have specialized CDN SRE teams with strong technical strength. CDN Pro gives them full control of the business they have long expected, and is more cost-effective."
It is understood that at the meeting, Netshop technology won two awards, namely "top 5 edge cloud pilot enterprise" and "cloud computing technology innovation pilot Award", and its industry leading strength was once again affirmed.
