Intel rolls out IoT Platform as ‘end to end’ reference model

"With this platform we are continuing to expand our IoT product family beyond silicon with enhancements to our pre-integrated solutions that make IoT more accessible to solution providers," said Doug Davis, general manager of Intel's IoT Group. "IoT is a rapidly growing market but faces scalability hurdles. By simplifying the development process and making it easier to deploy new solutions that address market needs, we can help accelerate innovation." The new offerings and relationships will make it easier for solution providers to move IoT from pockets of pilots to mainstream deployments with a repeatable foundation of building blocks that can be customized for limitless solutions. Data will be unlocked faster to extract meaningful information and value for consumers and businesses. The Intel IoT Platform is also being supported by a range of hardware and software. Included in the roll out are: • Wind River Edge Management System, a pre-integrated technology stack intended to help customers to build IoT solutions and to integrate IT systems. • An updated Intel IoT Gateway, with performance improvements, support for lower cost memory options and a broader selection of communication options. • Expanded support for cloud analytics, allowing IoT application developers to detect trends and anomalies in time series at big data scale. • Enhanced Security for Intel IoT Gateways, a pre-validated solution from McAfee that brings advanced security management for gateway devices. • Enhanced Privacy Identity technology, and • An API and Traffic Management solution using Intel Mashery solutions to enable creation of building blocks that make it easy to build new software applications.
