How UltronGlow is using edge computing to advance the metaverse

2021 is the first year of Metaverse development. In this year, we have witnessed the market miracles created by NFT, Gamefi and other Metaverse branches. However, this is just the beginning. 2022 will be the explosion of Metaverse infrastructure platforms and applications. year. As the underlying infrastructure platform of the Metaverse, how will UltronGlow promote the development of the Metaverse? Core keyword: edge computing.

The Metaverse places extremely high demands on computing power, although computing power, as the most important infrastructure of the Metaverse, has greatly changed the face of society. However, it should be pointed out that the current computing power architecture still cannot meet the needs of the Metaverse for low threshold and high experience, and edge computing can promote the development of computing power to a certain extent and clear the obstacles for the development of the Metaverse.

As another new computing model following distributed computing, grid computing, and cloud computing, edge computing takes cloud computing as the core, takes modern communication networks as the way, and takes massive intelligent terminals as the forefront, integrating cloud, network, terminal, A new computing model of the four-in-one intelligence. It can be said that edge computing is an important path to solve future digital problems.

Of course, the acceptance and development of edge computing also requires a long process. John Vicente, CTO of American Fault Tolerance Technology Co., Ltd., divides the maturity of edge computing into four levels, from isolated static systems at 1.0 to invisible adaptive, self-managing systems at 4.0.

Edge Computing 1.0 is about how to secure, manage and connect machines and devices to enable the digital edge. This stage has only the basic capabilities needed to successfully operate a business in the digital world; in the 2.0 stage, edge computing will begin to adopt open, software-defined technologies. Software-defined technology refers to extracting various functions from the underlying computer hardware and enabling these functions to be executed in software.

In the 3.0 stage of edge computing, IT and OT will achieve true integration, with a series of elastic and real-time capabilities. Today, there are still many industrial areas that IT has not reached. For example, factories require mechanical control systems to perform deterministic behavior and ensure safety. These control systems were born in the field of operational technology, not the information technology industry.

Implementing the capabilities of Edge Computing 3.0 is a necessary condition for a successful transition to Edge Computing 4.0. In the edge computing 4.0 stage, IT and OT infrastructure and operations will be merged with artificial intelligence (AI), and a self-managing, self-healing and automated industrial field will be born. Once the machine has a problem, the AI ​​system can diagnose and fix it — without human intervention.

It can be said that edge computing is an inevitable trend to improve computing power. Edge computing can provide high-quality interactive experience for all devices, thereby increasing people’s sense of experience in the Metaverse. UltronGlow uses a large number of edge server node devices to lay the entire The network, as the underlying infrastructure of the Metaverse, will escort the massive Metaverse applications in the future.
