Large data market size or up to 46.3 billion: driving smart city construction

From urban traffic to air quality, from architectural design to film and television production, the application of large data analysis has penetrated into every aspect of people's lives.

A recent study from MarketsandMarkets shows that by 2018, the annual composite growth rate in the world's big data markets will reach 26%, from 14.87 billion to $46.34 billion trillion. There is no doubt that we have entered the big data age, and these vast numbers breed opportunities. Some experts say the big numbers offer a chance in China to catch up with developed countries such as Britain and the US faster. The intelligent city is the necessary stage of the development of the city informatization to the wisdom, the key is to realize the intelligent processing of the digital information, the core of which is to introduce the technology of large data processing, to promote the industrial upgrading and to accelerate the construction of the intelligent city.

Big Data makes "dreams come true."

The big Data wave, this is not only a revolution in the field of information technology, but also in the global scope to start transparent government, speed up enterprise innovation, the sharp weapon to lead social change. Along with the data Warehouse, data security, data analysis, data mining and so on the use of large data commercial value gradually become the profit focus of all sides. Based on the platform and application of social networks, tens of billions of machines, businesses and individuals can acquire and produce new data anytime and anywhere.

The arrival of the big data age is quietly changing our lives. Internet search engine is one of the most typical applications of large data, Baidu (160.8,-4.13,-2.51%) Daily processing data volume reached dozens of PB, and presents a rapid growth trend. Within 1 minutes, Sina (83.6, 1.19, 1.44%) microblogging sent tens of thousands of microblogging, Apple (522.7, 2.19,-0.42%) App Store downloads tens of thousands of times, Taobao sold tens of thousands of items, Baidu produced million search queries ... All of these behaviors are presented by massive amounts of data. With the help of the computer storage, analysis and processing of massive data, we can and can use large data to realize the original dream of unreachable.

Hequan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that as social networks matured and mobile bandwidth increased rapidly, more sensors, mobile terminals, more data and more growth than at any time in history, data traffic on the Internet was growing rapidly. Hequan that China's mobile internet has moved into the "Big data" era, driven by technologies such as cloud computing and things networking. After cloud computing, large data has become one of the most popular concepts in the field of information technology.

Internet companies scramble to explore big data mysteries

In the IT industry, a large data industry has been defined as building on the Internet, a wide range of data resources, such as the Internet of things, for data storage, value extraction, intelligent processing and distribution of information services, or to enable all users to gain insights from virtually any data that can be converted into business execution, Includes insights that were previously hidden in unstructured data.

It is understood that in the Twelve-Five planning of Internet of Things published by the Ministry of Technology, Information processing technology as one of the four key technological innovation projects, including mass data storage, data mining, image and video intelligent analysis, these are important components of large data. The emergence of large data is triggering profound technological and commercial changes worldwide. In technology, large data makes the conventional way of extracting information from data changed.

In fact, the global Internet giants are aware of the importance of "big data". The global IT giants, including Hewlett-Packard (24.37, 0.17, 0.7%), IBM (179.21, 0.94, 0.52%), Microsoft (35.41, 0.13, 0.38%), have been implementing technology integration by acquiring "big data" related vendors. Experts predict that in the next 5 years, the value created by large data will reach 53 billion U.S. dollars, while generating 100,000 jobs, but also the cultural, social, political and other aspects of the so-called "three-point technology, seven data", get the world of data.

And some of the leading Internet companies, including Sina, Tencent (423.2, 5.40,-1.26%, real-time quotes), Alibaba, etc., has also begun substantive exploration. As China's largest e-commerce platform, Taobao has a huge amount of business data, Taobao now face large amounts of data, content diversity, dimension rich, the quality of the source data is not high. For the challenges that Taobao faces, distributed storage computing, real-time computing, real-time streaming, data mining based on cloud computing, data visualization and data product practice are key technologies to deal with the wave of large data.

Although domestic enterprises in the database, data warehousing, business intelligence and other areas of weak foundation, but if the industry and the entry point, large data can play its positive role.

Big Data drives Smart city development

The development of information technology promotes the development of information communication between man and nature, our living environment will become more and more "intelligent", we will be able to use information more "wisely" and make more "wisdom" judgments and responses to the world and others. The development of Intelligent City is the new stage of the development of City Informatization, only the core consensus of "wisdom comes from Big data" is established, so the construction of intelligent city can be "four and two".

The intelligent city should embody the level and wisdom of human society to the new technology development of modern city and Operation management, it must come from the full analysis and utilization of large data. Building Intelligent City is the new paradigm and new strategy of urban development. Intelligent city Construction includes all aspects, such as urban management, medical, transportation, energy, utilities, water resources, security, education and food, and other fields, including IoT, cloud computing, mobile Internet, large data, supercomputing, 3G/4G broadband communication, etc. Smart city construction is conducive to stimulating the economy, industry insiders expect "Twelve-Five" period of China's smart city investment total size is expected to exceed 500 billion. The construction of Intelligent City brings the explosive growth of data quantity, and the big data is like blood all over the intelligent city construction, such as intelligent transportation, intelligent medicine, intelligent life and so on, urban management is shifting from "experience management" to "scientific governance".

In the foreseeable future, big data will be spread across every aspect of the intelligent city, from the government decision-making and service, to people including basic necessities of life, and then to the city's industrial layout and planning, until the city's operation and management methods, will be supported by large data to "intelligent", large data into the wisdom of the city's "wisdom engine."
