Next IT revolution: micro-servers

"Editor's note" If you are a careful person, you will notice that devices in your home or office, such as televisions and routers, have rarely been upgraded since the factory, and they usually have a proprietary hardware platform and embedded Linux operating systems, but now the next generation of it change has begun, These proprietary devices will make way for multi-core processors such as arm and Intel, and the presence of micro-servers will change many industries today, and if you are a VC, this could be your next investment goal.

The following is the full text:

Have you ever calculated how many home or workplace Linux devices have not been upgraded since they were shipped? Includes your cable/fiber/ADSL modem, your WiFi endpoint, TV, NAS storage, router, Media Center, and more. Typically this type of device host has a proprietary hardware platform, an embedded proprietary Linux system, and a proprietary application. If you are lucky enough to log on to the Web GUI and then upload a new firmware blob, but this firmware blob is usually hard to find on the hardware vendor's website, it's no wonder that the NSA or anyone else likes to investigate potential firmware bugs, Because they are the ideal way to eavesdrop.

Next IT revolution: micro-servers

However, the next generation of it revolution is imminent, and these proprietary hardware platforms will make way for multi-core business processors such as arm and Intel. The common operating system replaces traditional proprietary and embedded operating systems. Proprietary and static single use apps will be replaced by the marketplace, and multiple apps will run on one device. Security updates are pushed regularly. Remote devices and apps implement easy and automated management. The next revolution will involve managing millions of of micro-servers and apps. These micro-servers will be like a hybrid of mobile apps, Docker containers, and cloud servers. Managing them is like managing a "local cloud" sometimes called a fog calculation.

Micro-servers and IoT?

is micro-servers some form of the internet of things? Yes, it can, but not always. If you have a SmartHub control of your home or office, then it is a purely internet of things. But if you have a router, firewall, fiber-optic modem, etc., there is no essential difference between micro-server and previous proprietary devices.

Why do we care about micro-servers?

If you are a mobile application developer, then the Micro-servers Revolution will be your next battleground. The local cloud needs the "Angry Birds" type of success.

If you're a VC, Micro-server solutions startups are the next thing you want to focus on.

If you are a hardware vendor, this is the type of device or soc you want to build.

If you are a large data expert, you can imagine how much data these devices will produce.

If you're a machine learning expert, then you might want to think about how you can easily execute algorithms and models that have been on thousands of cloud servers and petabytes of data on constraint devices.

If you are a devop, then your next challenge will be to manage and manipulate millions of constraint servers.

Cloud If you are an innovator, you may need to understand Micro-servers's SaaS and PAAs management solutions.

If you are a service provider, this must be a type of large-scale management and easy integration solution.

If you're a security expert, then you should start thinking about Micro-firewalls and anti-micro-viruses and so on.

If you are a business manager, then you should consider how to get a new "mega Micro-revenue" or how Destructive "micro-innovations" can give you a competitive advantage.

If you are an analyst or consultant, you can predict the next it revolution and the market worth billions of in 2020.
