About COM Express Type 7
By 2020, it is expected that data created and copied annually, much of it from IoT, cloud and big data applications, will increase to around 44 zettabytes. That's 44 trillion gigabytes. In order to minimize traffic between clients, central clouds and data centers, data should be processed as close as possible to its place of origin or inquiry location. IoT and Industry 4.0 applications need this decentralized capacity to process sensor and measurement data in real time.
In particular, data-intensive video streaming applications need local virtualized systems with multiple cores and larger caches to achieve the required transcoding performance. This is not only relevant for video-on-demand in the telecom segment but also for medical and security applications.
