The visible future--10 talking about the age of large data

When we started talking about the big data age six months ago, big data was just a topic for discussion in a professional circle. By the end of the series today, the concept of large data has been widely disseminated both inside and outside the industry and in the mass media, and has sprung up in this direction. The so-called "historical trend, Mighty, Shunzhi, Mighty", this past only used on the political topic of the argument to borrow to describe the arrival of the big data era and the rapid development of the situation is really appropriate.

From different angles to see large data, it may be a big opportunity, big development, great innovation, but also may be a big crisis, great destruction, big elimination.

At present, the most active areas are network terminal innovation and network infrastructure innovation, that is, the so-called http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13565.html "> Large data industry chain of the foreground and backstage." From the well-known desktops, notebooks to smartphones and tablets, to the upcoming network television, network cameras, network glasses, as well as the discussion of the network of light bulbs, auto and a variety of strange network terminals and sensor systems, the material world and human society more and more comprehensive, The work of getting more and more into the data world is progressing smoothly and rapidly, as if there were no great theoretical or practical obstacles that could prevent this process.

From the familiar traditional cloud computing and data center to today's public cloud, private cloud, open cloud, closed cloud, to the endless set of hardware, software, data storage and analysis tools in one of the infrastructure, large data in the background is from software as service (SaaS), A platform is a service (PaaS) that moves toward infrastructure as a service (IaaS). On this road, there seems to be no great theoretical or practical obstacles that can prevent this process.

The real battle is still in the big data of the middle and the middle of the network platform, which is the big data era of the real arrival of the tipping point (Tipping points). No matter how colorful the foreground is, no matter how strong the backstage, after all, there needs to be a system, a framework, a service to connect people, objects and objects, the data produced between people by natural logic and social logic, docking up, integration, can release the potential economic and social value. This connection, docking and integration of the way users like, the lower the cost, the higher the efficiency, the more data, the value of this platform is greater, in the large data ecological circle in the higher status. As for the existing network platform, no one has enough capacity or potential to complete this task, and the whole industry needs one or several major innovations.

On the current situation of industrial development and the internal needs of large data times, the next 35 years will be in the network platform level has the opportunity to produce innovative breakthroughs in the following three major directions:

Personal Data Integration--this is the natural deepening and expansion of the WEB2.0 Revolution, the ultimate goal is to create a real "data person", that is, the individual as the center of their behavior on the internet and all the world about this person's generated data together to accurately describe, Intelligent and personalized service matching in the context of privacy protection. In this respect, Facebook and Apple have the best foundation and go the farthest. "My Data", "Self-quantification" (Quantified Self), "nano-positioning" (nanotargeting) and a series of new concepts are emerging in the industry, a group of people around the full dynamic data access services and mechanisms are being tried.

The integration of public service data--the network public data service which used to lag behind the development of the Times has sprung up in recent years, from scattered, lagging, rough and passive states to a new stage of integration, dynamic, refinement and initiative. The Government Data Service website represented by Data.gov is becoming a new and powerful force, expanding and enriching the space and depth of Internet service under the force of legislation, budget, supervision of public opinion and public urging. The level of development and competitive strength of a country, a society and even a city will be closely linked to the level of its public service data integration and service. The level of public service data integration will soon become one of the main signs of "soft power".

Material production data integration-the design and manufacture of material products has been far from the Internet, and now is at a very high speed and great power with the network industry integration. "3D printing" this inaccurate term represented by the network and data of the material product design and production revolution has greatly improved people's imagination of the network world and the data world, greatly expanded the network industry boundaries. In the past, the network industry can only carry out fully data products and services, or through the network platform to help the material products and services to promote sales. However, the emerging networked and data-producing models show that the transformation from data to physical is beginning to enter into Low-cost, large-scale, breaking the time limit and personalized new historical stage. This will redefine the industrial chain and business model of many product manufacturing industries, integrating the data needed for the design, manufacture and circulation of material products into the upstream industry.

These three directions are just a space composed of three dimensions of the individual, society and material world, which are organically integrated in the era of large data and create opportunities for industrial development and social progress. Any significant progress in any one or three dimensions of this space will be the gospel of the large data service industry. This is not an imaginary myth, but a visible future.
