Industry Edge Platform for Hybrid Cloud Latency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Enterprises face challenges in seamlessly integrating cloud computing services with on-premises resources, lacking hybrid industry solutions that maintain user experience and leverage cloud flexibility for digital transformation, especially with Industry 4.0, 4G/5G, and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC).
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an industry edge platform that provides a consistent technology platform both in the cloud and on-premises, enabling enterprises to deploy cloud services closer to users, utilizing 4G/5G networks, and managing resources through edge computing, allowing for efficient use of computing resources and network bandwidth while ensuring high availability and minimizing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If enterprises deploy cloud computing services entirely in the cloud, then service availability and scalability are improved, but latency and network dependency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments computing services into cloud-based and on-premises components. Critical services are deployed locally at enterprise premises while non-critical services remain in the cloud, allowing enterprises to balance availability and latency requirements by processing time-sensitive operations locally while maintaining cloud connectivity for less time-sensitive functions.
2Speed
If enterprises install computing resources on-premises, then latency is reduced and service continuity is improved, but infrastructure complexity and maintenance burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides universal computing resources that can function both as local on-premises infrastructure and as cloud services. The same computing platform can be deployed at enterprise premises to provide low-latency processing while simultaneously being managed and updated through cloud-based orchestration, eliminating the need for separate maintenance systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If enterprises use customized siloed solutions for on-premises and cloud, then specific functional requirements are met, but integration complexity and user experience consistency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges on-premises and cloud computing environments into a unified hybrid infrastructure. A common operating system and management platform coordinate resources across both locations, allowing enterprises to maintain customized functional capabilities at each site while experiencing consistent service delivery and simplified unified management.
