As it is constantly evolving and generating ever-increasing volumes of data, the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing in demand also, as businesses want high-speed processing technology to handle big data analytics. Guest blog by Ross Dickson.

Over the past two years, it is safe to say there has been a lot of attention on the internet of things (IoT). Jeff Gowan in this guest blog talks about how before coming to work at Wind River he had never even heard the term before!? Written by Jeff Gowan.

The number one issue facing IoT deployments is security and it must be properly addressed before broad adoption can begin. Guest blog written Amit Ronen.

Value for customers can only be generated by Industrial IoT (IIoT) if connected devices are actively monitored and managed. To ensure these devices are secure, operational, and performing at the highest possible level, device management should be designed in as part of an IoT system architecture from the start, as it is a key IoT enabler and critically important component in IoT deployments today. According to IDC, 85% of existing embed...

Do you want to improve your OpenStack-based cloud performance by 15x? Well Charlie Ashton from Wind River has the answer here… Guest blog by Charlie Ashton.

It is a strange and inaccurate question to ask; what do you want to eat yesterday? However, IoT systems are architected to often ask very similar questions by aggregating a massive amount of data in a central repository where every so often a data scientist can evaluate and perhaps realise some insights that would have been best realised and responded to at the time the events were taking place at the edge. Guest blog by Kevin Konkos.

This summer Wind River was involved in the leadership of an R&D project that fell under the guidance and nurturing of CENGN, Canada’s Centre of Excellence in Next Generation Networks.
