As the backbone of communications amongst objects, humans, companies, and administrations, the Internet has become a great integration platform capable of efficiently interconnecting billions of entities, from RFID chips to data centers. This platform provides access to multiple hardware and virtualized resources (servers, networking, storage, applications, connected objects) coming from cloud computing and Internet-of-Things (IoT) infrastructures. From these resources that may be hosted and distributed amongst different providers and tenants, the building and operation of complex and value-added networked systems is enabled.

客座社论：管理网络系统的网络安全技术特别部分

作为物体、人、公司和管理部门之间通信的支柱，互联网已经成为一个强大的集成平台，能够有效地互连数十亿实体，从 RFID 芯片到数据中心。该平台提供对来自云计算和物联网 (IoT) 基础设施的多个硬件和虚拟化资源（服务器、网络、存储、应用程序、连接对象）的访问。从这些可能托管和分布在不同提供商和租户之间的资源中，可以构建和运行复杂的增值网络系统。
