[ANN] BonusCloud: Open Test Now to Create The Next Generation Infrastructure

BonusCloud

The Next Generation Infrastructure Driven By Blockchain

Brief Glance at BonusCloud

BonusCloud (BonusCloud.io) aims to develop a decentralized trustworthy global cloud computing platform to serve open and shared ecosystem platform in blockchain application. It combines the virtualization technology of cloud computing and blockchain to support more PaaS applications under the promise of guaranteeing its security. It can execute the smart contract, web application, storage application and computing application.

On one hand, FaaS and Edge Computing can be developed by the virtualization technology of BonusChain. On the other hand, it stores all the transaction information and resource information into the blockchain where the users can inquire and audit freely.

Bright Future and Potential Practical Values of Edge Computing

As to the Edge Computing, it is driven by the emerging needs of IoT networks, but with far greater implications than just IoT.

For the coming future of several years, Cloud Computing will act more like and ongoing, off-site processing plant for machine learning purposes while handing off the more immediate processing to edge computing.

According to the IDC report, 45 percent of data created by IoT will be stored, processed, analyzed, and acted upon by edge computing in just two years. In Gartners report, 40 percent of large enterprises will be integrating edge computing principles into their 2021 projects, with a large increase comparing with only 1% in 2017, and also by 2021, there will be 2.5 million per minute in IoT spending and 1 million new IoT devices sold very hour with deep application of Edge Computing.

BonusCloud is creating an infrastructure platform for decentralized cloud computing, adopting software and hardware decoupling scheme to achieve rapid iteration and open- sharing. The distributed Network (BonusNet), the distributed computing platform (BonusComputing ) and the distributed storage (BonusStorage) will definitely create a stable, liable, world-wide and efficient infrastructure for the applications of Edge Computing and other potential application scenarios.

Here are the blueprint for the future edge computing application scenarios planned by BonusCloud:

Performance monitoring and stress testing
P2P computing and cloud storage
Data aggregation analysis for IoT
（To assist companies of different sectors and industries to realize the intelligent terminal data acquisition, and transmission, and for further data integration and add into the chain, which will benefit to the infrastructure for carriers, the intelligent industry, the intelligent agriculture, smart home, smart city, the intelligent medical treatment and many other sectors.）
Block chain infrastructure
The Solutions, construction and maintainance for the edge computing network
