IoT platform allows secure centralised console connection

Edge Management System is a pre-integrated technology stack running from the device to the cloud that has been validated to work out-of-the-box with all Intel IoT Platform components, as well as other IoT vendors’ components. Specifically, the Edge Management System agent enables cloud connectivity to facilitate capabilities such as data capture, rules-based data analysis and response, configuration, and file transfer.

The platform allows customers to quickly build industry-specific IoT solutions and integrate disparate enterprise IT systems, utilising API management. The cloud-based middleware runs from the embedded device up through the cloud to reduce time-to-market and total cost of ownership.

The Edge Management System includes remote device management capabilities which reduce service costs by enabling remote diagnostics and maintenance. Secure software updates are integrated with on-device security features such as white listing and integrity monitoring, and remote data capture collects sensor and system health data, and transforms them into actionable intelligence.

As part of Intel IoT Platform, Edge Management System will be integrated and validated with the Intel IoT Gateway, which includes Wind River Intelligent Device Platform XT, a complete software development environment that provides pre-integrated, tested, ready-to-use components to secure, manage, and connect gateways. In addition, Edge Management System supports a wide variety of hardware and operating systems, providing customers with flexibility in IoT implementations.

“The IoT is presenting tremendous opportunities for business value delivery through context-rich device interaction and insights,” said Chris Rommel, Executive Vice President of IoT & Embedded Technology, VDC Research. “These increasingly valuable and complex device networks, however, require new processes and platforms to effectively manage the data, security, and services delivered across the IoT network architecture.”

"IoT is all about business transformation - transforming machine data into actionable insights to generate revenue streams, maximise existing infrastructure, and improve business processes," said Jim Douglas, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Wind River. “With Edge Management System, Wind River now provides a comprehensive product portfolio that addresses the entire IoT architecture, from the management of intelligent devices at the edge, to the gateway, into the network, and up into the cloud, allowing us to deliver maximum value to our customer base.”
