"I Am a wild dog": Interview hardware Cloud company Wilddog CEO Liuzhiyu to

You can't imagine a company focused on hardware cloud would give itself the name "Wild Dog" (Wilddog). Before CEO Liuzhiyu to Big Brother to introduce product, I still full of puzzled look at him, thought this name is really good? After that, we talked about products, IoT and smart hardware from names.

The reason for such a fierce direct name. Liuzhiyu has three points to consider, the first is that a lot of companies emphasize wolf culture, but wild dog than wolves have a team cooperation ability, can embody the company's mutual benefit of the values; second, Liuzhiyu my character comparison "Wild", very with the nature; third, it's a name with internet thinking. Good memory is easy to spread, trademarks, etc. are not registered.

He used to describe himself as "wild dog" from black. In fact, the team's 6 core members from Tplink, Garland Graphic design, UC, Baidu, 360 and other first-line companies, this is a set of embedded software, hardware, IDs, products, Internet architecture and machine learning excellent team. According to Liuzhiyu's words is: "We are now seven cheap." As CEO of the company, Liuzhiyu is more willing to talk to people about his products. In short, "Wild Dog" is a hardware development cloud service platform that lowers development thresholds, saves time and expense, and quickly connects traditional devices to the network via Bluetooth, WiFi, and 3G modules. The new wild dog will focus on health, mobile positioning and home three scenes.

"Wild Dog" is divided into three parts, respectively, for embedded and born cloud "Wilddog Cloud", can simplify the difficulty of embedded development system "Wilddog OS" and can be developed for rapid prototyping hardware "Wilddog hardware."

In simple terms, these three parts are combined together as a complete solution, but they can be used separately. Implement rapid hardware prototyping on third-party hardware or on Wilddog's own hardware. Wilddog Cloud In addition to reducing the difficulty of development, providing the cloud, but also to achieve data visualization, online upgrades and information push and other functions. The future will also provide machine learning tools to help uncover the secrets of the data, such as detecting anomalies.

Some companies are "naïve" to believe that buying a Aliyun or buying a server can instantly achieve Internet access. There are too many nodes that need attention and coordination for usability, security, architecture, and product design.

Liuzhiyu thinks that for many traditional companies that want to transform smart hardware, the threshold for cloud development is high. The use of "wild dog" can save rental room, research and development investment and other expensive costs. For startups, the use of "wild dogs" can help them realize their ideas quickly. For mature enterprises, the company hopes to be able to statistics and analysis of these data, improve their products. And the market already exists in the hardware cloud service is different, these enterprises are mostly from the traditional enterprise change, have the old customer is its biggest advantage, but still gene wrong.

The concept of Internet of Things has been "popular" in the country for many years, but today we have not been able to experience the "fantasy" scene of the carefree. According to Cisco's latest report, the 10-year Internet will bring a giant ⼤ market worth 14.4 trillion of billions of dollars, 3 times times the size of the web. In Liuzhiyu's view, although IoT (Internet of Things) has been the government's key support and reached the scale of 700 billion yuan in 2014, but currently only focused on radio frequency identification and two-dimensional code of the traditional industry, mainly used in logistics, food and other products tracking. But in this, if the data can be connected to the network, there will be greater commercial and social value.

Liuzhiyu also has its own judgment about the "smart hardware" that Granter group has already gone trough during the Halo curve 2 years ago. He thinks the smart hardware is a small fire this year, but the first wave of death will be fast, the second wave is on the way, and more will appear in the form of an internet company. The first wave of paths has the problem of expecting hardware to flow to the app, but the hardware distribution is too slow. The second wave will be app to the hardware flow, and then app to the wiring. The number and amount of smart hardware that internet companies invest in next year will be much more, and everyone is paying tuition this year.

Why is the United States so hot, China has not fire up? This is a problem that makes investors very headache.

Silicon Valley was an early gathering of chip makers. Now there are plenty of internet companies. The Internet Plus hardware integration is high. Nest, dropcam,fitbit, etc. are common components, but the deep integration of the Internet and machine learning after the gorgeous turned. The Internet and machine learning are real long bows. Another reason is that Americans have more ideas and hands-on skills. So when you see the U.S. Fry's such a line of consumer electronics supermarkets have a lot of shelves are in the sale of capacitance resistors and other components, this understanding will be more profound.

And Shenzhen is a city to make fast money, copy and cost down already is its culture. Product thinking is very weak, not to be an endless series of hand rings, sockets and electronic scales and other products deceived eyes, the real behind the program may only have one or two. Recently, the sphygmomanometer began to rise, and the next one is probably the bike. Although Beijing's product thinking is strong, but do not understand the hardware, do not understand the supply chain, do not understand upstream and downstream, do not know the unspoken rules. Early stacking, late to the cost of the helpless. Do not know the thermal test, drop test, do not know the general materials, do not know the design and the combination of requirements, so easy to "take for granted."

Wild dogs are trying to connect Beijing and Shenzhen to help companies cross these pits. "We also have branches in Shenzhen," Liuzhiyu said. We know Beijing, but we know more about Shenzhen. Prior to joining Wilddog, Liuzhiyu served as MOP, ⼈ and 360 technical director, with extensive experience in large data, cloud computing and security architecture design. Prior to working in 360 with a safe route, he admits he is lucky to get Zhou's guidance. "He is one of the best product managers," Liuzhiyu finally said of Zhou.

"Wild dogs" will launch their products in the near future: the need to meet the firmware updates of the ARM processor m-series WiFi modules with low memory and reliability.
