Introduction: Aliyun form storage has been comprehensively upgraded to create a new one-stop Internet of things storage solution

On September 1, 2021, Ali Cloud Tablestore launched a new capability: one-stop Iot storage IoTstore. This new capability is a technical upgrade of Aliyun Tablestore for the deep and vertical scenarios of the Internet of Things. It is committed to optimizing the data storage experience of users in the Internet of Things industry and making IoTstore a standard product for data storage in the Internet of Things industry. This upgrade has enhanced both the output channels of data and the visibility of products on the basis of the past. At the same time, it can also provide users with a powerful built-in index engine, which can fully connect with external big data and data lake ecology.

Looking back over the first 40 years, the improvement of infrastructure led to a large number of Internet applications and the development and maturation of data management technologies. In the past decade, the explosion of mobile Internet has brought infinite possibilities and numerous attempts to the digitalization of various industries. The rapid expansion and flexible changing business requirements have also brought the era of rapid development to cloud computing.

With the comprehensive construction of 5G, the gradual maturity of intelligent terminals and IoT technology, the Internet of Things as a new application form has been quietly born, and our life, traffic and production are further informatization. This trend poses a major challenge to current technology:

  • Massive growth in devices: Gartner predicts that the number of devices in the Internet of Things will grow to 25 billion by 2021. Managing so many devices is the first challenge.
  • Large-scale growth of data: It can be seen in IDC report that the data scale of Internet of Things will reach 79.4ZB by 2025, with an average annual growth rate of 34.91%. How to store and analyze such massive data is the second major challenge.
  • Data architecture is more complex: equipment metadata, equipment message data, equipment timing data, etc. Different technology combination architectures need to be selected in different scenarios. This multi-component composite architecture has high architecture complexity and high operation and maintenance costs.

We can see that device metadata, message data and timing data all have very typical characteristics in the Internet of Things scenario, and the overall growth rate will be much faster than the Internet era. It can be predicted that the older generation of products cannot cope with the growth of larger data scale in the Internet of Things. In view of the above problems, Ali Cloud table storage Tablestore has carried out a comprehensive technical upgrade, and the one-stop Internet of Things storage IoTstore released this time can provide corresponding solutions from the following aspects:

1. Provide one-stop product and service capability to meet the storage, retrieval and analysis requirements of equipment metadata, message data and timing data. Relying on the rich data model at the bottom, it provides unified access protocol for the upper layer and provides one-stop service.

2. Genetic guarantee of table storage We provide cloud native and distributed technologies to build Serverless products with scalability and flexibility.

3. In order to meet the massive data scale in the Internet of Things scenario, the one-stop Internet of Things storage IoTstore provides extremely low-cost solutions through high compression ratio and the ability of hot and cold stratification.

4, provide convenient data uplink, complete docking with a variety of computing, so that the product is easier to be integrated by the ecosystem.

After more than ten years of precipitation, the IoTstore released by Ali Cloud is not only a comprehensive data storage product, but also expected to promote the development of the vertical industry of the Internet of Things, so that IoTstore will become the standard configuration of the storage industry of the Internet of Things in the cloud era.

With its features of full scene coverage, easy management, easy integration and low cost, IoTstore can not only help enterprises promote business development, but also excavate the potential value behind data and provide more solid technical support for enterprise digitalization.
