Speed first in the mobile age

Speed first in the mobile age

With the rapid development of wireless Internet technology and the continuous improvement and implementation of 4G and 5G technologies, the entire IT industry is constantly striving for the ambitious goal of "all Internet. According to IDC data, from now till 2018, the shipment volume of wearable devices will produce a compound annual growth rate of 78.4%, and eventually reach 2018 Of the world's shipments in 0.1119 billion. The capacity of global smart home devices will reach $2019 in 490 billion. On the just-concluded 2015 world mobile Conference Shanghai site, we can also clearly feel that, whether it is a carrier and Solution Provider that strives to develop NFV technology, manufacturers that provide intelligent products for vehicles, household appliances, and even infants are all looking forward to this market.

In the transition from "to traffic for benefits" to "to application for benefits", Mr. Zhang yiqiang, general manager of China from F5, the application delivery leader, he also expressed his own thoughts and expectations.

 

Technology leader, fast and never broken

Zhang yiqiang believes that both NFV and SDN are opportunities for wireless operators. Through NFV, operators can deploy functional modules in the form of virtualization, and release the potential of existing devices and control costs. This means that CIOs of operators can truly be business-oriented, quickly deploy new applications. Currently, application delivery has evolved into an intelligent solution that includes security, availability, authentication and access control, cloud services, and performance management. With the implementation of SDN and NFV technologies, application delivery solutions can quickly extend the network and application services, so as to quickly complete service definitions and quickly respond to changing market demands. This development trend coincides with the new integrated architecture and software-defined application service solution launched by F5 in 2013. "This is also why F5 is seldom afraid of imitation by friends and vendors," said Zhang yiqiang. "As F5 has accumulated accumulation in traffic and application management over the years and has sought to develop its own technology, we firmly believe that the best competitiveness comes from the technology that is always one step ahead, rather than the barrier of the market. More and more competition will prove that the market is developing in a benign way."

Demand-oriented, Fast fish is king

In recent years, a major trend in the IT industry in China and even the world has seen fewer and fewer fish and slower fish. The reason is that "quickfish" can quickly respond to demands and occupy the market to maximize its own benefits. Mr. Zhang yiqiang believes that, as a leader in the application Delivery Industry, F5 has the ability to help its customers continuously explore and even create market demands. Zhang yiqiang said: "F5's confidence mainly comes from two aspects. From a macro perspective, with the development of mobile Internet technology and the implementation of NFV, the essence of Iot is actually application interconnection. With F5's application delivery technology, we can not only ensure the security and high availability of applications at any time, but also help carriers, equipment vendors, and app providers conduct further 'traffic marketing 'through application analysis '. For example, in the future, once all air conditioners can access the Internet, after initial traffic analysis by operators, F5 devices can be used to summarize the usage and habits of different regions, in this way, the production and marketing of Air-Conditioning Manufacturers can be guided, and even the peak electricity usage can be estimated through analysis to help the country effectively regulate and control. From the perspective of F5, We have code-level cooperation with vendors such as VMware, Microsoft, and Oracle globally, this ensures that we can bring excellent application scenarios to domestic customers at the first time. At the same time, we cooperate with first-line domestic infrastructure providers such as Huawei and sugon at the strategic level, it also enables us to grasp special domestic usage requirements and provide users with more customized solutions. To sum up, in this era of increasingly dependent applications, the F5 solution is in the 'strategic highground 'of the infrastructure ', this means that our mission is to help customers quickly understand market needs and respond to these needs elastically, intelligently and securely."

Integrated development and future availability

Mr. Zhang yiqiang finally expressed his expectation for the future mobile market: "F5 believes that with the further development of technology, the increment of the IOT market will be geometric. However, for infrastructure providers and technology providers such as F5, the convergence of solutions will be the trend of the times. Now we can see that the line between wired and wireless networks is starting to blur. As the demands of end users become increasingly diversified, public clouds, Private clouds, and data centers must also begin to integrate, only by pooling and flexible resources as much as possible can we meet almost unlimited usage needs. F5 will do its best to deliver all applications securely, quickly, and highly available in an integrated environment ."
