Dataffinic computing: Data-centric architecture to support digital trust

Recently, there is a movement gaining momentum to create business reforms and innovations by storing and utilizing large volumes of data generated on various sites. In addition to the structured data handled in conventional databases, advancements are being made in the use of video and other unstructured. There are three requirements for efficient utilization of unstructured data: data processing performance, cost-performance ratio, and data management. Fujitsu Laboratories is working on the R&D of Dataffinic Computing, which uses distributed storage systems to achieve high-speed processing of large volumes of data, as a data-centric architecture that supports the utilization of massive volumes of data. This paper outlines data neighborhood processing technology, large-volume memory technology, and high-speed thin client technology, which are elemental technologies of Dataffinic Computing. It also presents an approach to video monitoring systems as an application example. © 2020 Fujitsu Ltd. All rights reserved.
