Datacenter performance in your pocket
In this Friday's article, we want to think a little about the prospects for the development of the direction of mobile services and applications in the context of the use of cloud computing for processing user data. In our opinion, the trend is growing, according to which personal devices become a thin client for the implementation of resource-intensive operations.
What are the prerequisites?
First, 20 million Russian users use mobile devices to access information via the Internet, and 70% of them visit YouTube and Instagram. This fact indirectly indicates that a large amount of custom material is being processed (photo and video images).
')
Secondly, an increase in the speed of access to the Internet and its distribution in the regions of Russia. The delay from Ekaterinburg to Moscow is from 25 to 30 ms, and the cost per 100 Mbit / s on average is 450 rubles. According to information from the mediascope: “The monthly Internet audience as of October 2016 - March 2017 reached 87 million people, which accounts for 71% of the total population of the country.”
Thirdly, every day there are more and more applications that use cloud computing, the user is only provided with a thin client to authenticate and download basic tools for work. One example is the Playkey service, which broadcasts an image to the user and accepts commands for transfer to the gameplay. Popular voice assistants on mobile devices such as Siri and Cortana handle user requests in the cloud.
Graphic and computational processors, along with solid-state drives, will be constantly improved, if for SSD this is an increase in disk space and increase in reliability, then the processors increase computing power, which in turn makes it possible to perform more operations.
For software manufacturers, performing computations on their resources allows for increased control over compliance with licensing policy provisions.
As a result, we are going to the trend when the mobile device will be only a screen for playing content, and information processing will occur on servers in data centers.
