Edge Computing
Paradigm shift in cloud computing
Edge computing heralds a paradigm shift in cloud computing. A key advantage: servers can evaluate mass data from factories without delay and take immediate action if necessary. This is the basis for AI-based processes.
The fact that the data producer retains data sovereignty also speaks in favor of edge computing. These and other advantages will be presented at the "Bosch Connected World" on February 19 and 20 in Berlin using the "All In One Edge" solution Oncite together with SupplyOn and Bosch Connected Industry. The Friedhelm Loh Group, to which Rittal also belongs, supplies the server components and the platform. Partners such as Bosch Connected Industry provide applications that enable IIoT applications and rapid digitalization of production.
Oncite is a highly available and flexibly scalable edge cloud data center with a real-time capable edge cloud stack and a pre-installed, expandable portfolio of edge applications. This results in a complete solution for the rapid processing and analysis of industrial data at the production site. As a factory-internal edge cloud data center, the system enables the digitalization of the factory and simultaneous adaptation to various digital production platforms.
The appliance brings together all of a company's data and the data can be made available to others via special connectors so that the data producer retains data sovereignty - regardless of whether they want to share this data anonymously with others for analysis purposes, for example, or pass it on to their customers for quality documentation.
Supplement for classic cloud solutions
As an edge cloud data center, Oncite is compatible with traditional cloud platforms. This allows the customer to bring the data from the sensor to the cloud. The decisive factor is that the edge cloud is within their access and they decide which data from the sensor is forwarded where and how.
The appliance is cloud provider-independent. All data can be processed in all private or public cloud systems. Thanks to open interfaces, Oncite can be connected to large public clouds, for example. Companies can use the appliance for both hybrid and multi-cloud solutions, giving them data sovereignty and real-time capability as well as networking with other cloud systems.
