Soft ChipTM -
Enterprise Imprinted Sensor Patches -> Make Data Logs ->
Deliver to Carrier Pigeons ->
Cloud -> Edge
Intelligence
The only systems on earth that have ever scaled to the size
and scope of the Internet of things are natural systems:
pollen distribution, ant colonies, redwoods, and so on. Small,
dumb, cheap and copious digital ants at the "Edge" can provide
the data we need to address global scale challenges in Climate
preparedness, agriculture, monitoring logistics chains for
global natural resources and regulatory/SLA compliance.
The confluence of AI + SDN prompted this shift to Cloud
Orchestration models. Soft Chips are imprinted by
owners directly - no third parties needed. They
form their logically contiguous networks across previously walled
garden boundaries. Authenticated ground sensors address global
scale challenges for
our planet.
Links below relate and support the rationale behind
Cloud->Edge
thinking and its Soft ChipTM embodiments.
