Enabling Edge-Cloud Duality of Time Series Data
Session date: 2022-06-28 08:00:00 (Pacific Time)
In this session, learn about the new feature in InfluxDB: Edge Data Replication! Discover how to automatically replicate data from an InfluxDB instance to InfluxDB Cloud. This will provide developers with insights into all assets at the edge — including sensors, servers, networks, and apps. InfluxDB is the centralized hub for collecting, storing, and analyzing time-stamped data collected from the edge, cloud and on-premises. InfluxDB will automatically copy the data from the source and send it to InfluxDB for all engineers, data scientists and business analysts to utilize.
Sam Dillard will discuss the growing needs and challenges of edge computing. Applications have become more distributed and data volumes keep increasing. Sam will discuss InfluxDB’s new edge data replication feature that leverages existing capabilities of the time series platform in order to enable edge-cloud data pipelines that fit any business needs and constraints. This feature automatically streams data on-write from an edge dataset to a cloud one of the user’s choosing. Adding to this automatic replication of writes is a durability designed to withstand network outages. This feature lays the groundwork for a much larger story about how the edge and cloud can work together to produce global time series data architectures! Sam will cover:
- Methodology for improving IIoT monitoring at the edge with a time series platform with nanosecond precision
- The importance of centralized visibility into all assets to meet business requirements
- How to use InfluxDB and Flux to reduce latency and cloud operational costs
