Smart Cities Expo - World Forum - Sydney - 2016 - Dez Blanchfield

1. Cloudy with a chance of Fog
The #data we generate or collect lives at the #edge of the network.. Not the center..

2. “Fog Compu*ng”
aka “Edge Analy-cs”

3. First there was the original #cloud & #bigdata pla;orm..

4. Then came the #dotcom boom & Unix midrange “big iron”..

5. Next we had Web 2.0 & COTS HPC super computer clusters..

6. Data Scien*sts have started finding Alligators in our Data Lakes..

7. Cloudwashing stuff did not make the #edge problem go away..

8. The rapid arrival of #fogcompu*ng & #edge analy*cs..
“For over 60 years, since the Mainframe era, we’ve habitually used ‘long haul’
design paDerns to get data from it’s ‘source’, back to ‘centralised’ data centres..”
• The old Mainframe & Data Center era
• The new #IoT & Mobile compu:ng era
• The “Always On” #FitBit genera*on
• Celebrity Experience 24 x 7 x 365
• You can’t have everything, where would you
put it?
• The need to shiR from Central to Edge
Analy*cs & Fog compu*ng design paTerns

9. ShiRing from #central to #edge compu*ng..
“Today’s smart phones, mobile & sensor devices are now a billion Gmes more
powerful than the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer used to put man on the moon..”
• Dumb sensors feeding #cloud Data Lakes
• Internet & #cloud won’t work at #IoT scale
• We have already deployed millions of smart
devices programmed to do dumb things
• We’ve proven edge compu:ng works ( from
the Apollo Luna missions, to Social Networks )
• We now have the power at the #edge, to
shiR workloads back to the edge & change
our thinking around distributed compu*ng

10. Google’s “simple” home page is 53 x A4 pages of 7pt font HTML!!
“Why is the largest internet search engine using 53 x A4 pages of HTML ( when
printed in 7pt Courer font! ) to render a single input form & a “SEARCH” buDon..”

11. #planes #trains & #automobiles

12. This is a bus designed & built to move people by the billion..

13. This is a bus designed for #edge analy*cs with a cogni*ve brain..

14. This is a bus built for personal use & it’s programmed to kill..

15. When the City & Vehicles are #smart.. Who do I sue..
“When there’s no actual driver, who do insurance companies sue to cover
damages when something goes wrong”..
• The driver? Nope.. there isn’t one!
• The manufacturer? Sure, which one?
• Hardware? SoRware? Services? Support? Naviga:on? Maps?
• The engineers? The programmers? The project managers?
• The quants, actuaries, or data scien:sts or game theory PhD’s?
• The open source data compilers? Wikipedia authors?
• Who ya gunna sue !? You can’t sue them all !!
• Winnebago driver’s sets cruise control to go make a coffee !!

16. Planes which create data by the Petabyte while in the air..
“When we removed the cables connecGng in-seat TV’s from our planes & went Wifi,
we took a couple of metric tonnes of weight out of each aircra].. (aircra] engineer)”
• 787 Dreamliner
• 4,000 sensors p/aircraR
• 500 GB p/flight
• FAA says reboot them once a month !!
• Airbus A330-1000
• 10,000 sensors in each wing !!
• 2.5 TB p/flight
• 87,400 domes*c flights p/day in USA
• 787 = 43.5 PB of new data p/day
• A330-1000 = 220 PB of new data p/day !!
• 5,000 aircra6 in the air in USA at any one -me

17. #networks

18. When one app can break the Internet, you’re doing #IoT wrong..
“When the NetFlix app. was officially ‘launched’ in Australia, it effecGvely
doubled Australia’s internaGonal internet bandwidth over night”..
• Smartphone up-take & the #cloud VS the #IoT explosion
• Bol:ng the #IoT to the Internet is a very bad idea
• Industrial Internets, M2M, M2C, C2M, and C2C
• Imagine detec*ng earthquakes with Smartphones via
apps which listen all the *me like Shazam
• Personal collision avoidance “ALERT!! look up, you are
about to walk in front of an autonomous vehicle!”

19. Making the devices in our ci*es “the new Carrier network”..
“Modern vehicles from cars, plains, busses, ferries and trains are all being
designed & built with networking ‘built in’, they should be the new Telco..”
• 8 x devices can join the Audi in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot
• Devices in my car will use Wifi Audi connect data
connec:on to access internet instead of Bluetooth
• City street lamps are Wifi access points are “imobile”
• Vehicles of any form become mobile “access points”
• Mobile compu:ng & Smart phones will soon #mesh
• Collec:ng & processing data while “off-the-grid”
• Leveraging Torrent & Peer 2 Peer style protocols

20. #cloud 2.0

21. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. here’s a very tradi*onal one..

22. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. here’s one in a big box..

23. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. here’s two in big boxes..

24. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. here’s a warehouse of them..

25. Clouds are being installed in all sorts of interes*ng places..

26. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. some like to live outdoors..

27. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. this isn’t your average “box”..

28. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, this box = 168,000 #cloud vm’s..

29. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, wait.. #cloud on Mainframe?!

30. Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, yes I the z13 Mainframe !!

31. We need to completely “rethink” #cloud & #datacenters..
“Most of what are doing with #cloud in #datacenters is no longer valid..
#cloud compuGng is distributed by nature.. but our data centers are not”..
• Old design paTerns:
• Centralized Everything
• Power & Network density & redundancy
• Back-haul to a central loca:on
• New design paTerns:
• Distributed #cloud & the network #edge
• Analy:cs at the #edge in the device
• Move decisions & metadata, not raw data

32. #bigdata & #analy*cs

33. Next genera*on “cloud na*ve” apps - burs*ng is in their DNA !!

34. Pushing the #cloud & #edge workloads to where you need I.T.

35. Current #cloud model is an Anaconda trying to swallow a fat pig..

36. #cyber-risk & #security

37. Data Breaches & Leaks are now being considered normal.. 1/3

38. Data Breaches & Leaks are now being considered normal.. 2/3

39. Data Breaches & Leaks are now being considered normal.. 3/3

40. 1.5 million #IoT IP cameras used to DDoS an en*re Na*on !!

41. OpenSource DDoS #botnet source code is now on github..

42. #ques*ons
