Cloud 101
The Three Types of Clouds A public cloud provisions virtual machines (VMs) on servers located at a third-party site. All sys admin services are provided by the third party, including security, connectivity, data access, and backup/recovery. Since resources are available on demand, this is the most cost-effective solution. But the public cloud doesn’t address concernsContinue reading “Cloud 101”
IoT Edge 101
What is Edge Computing? Edge computing pushes the intelligence, processing power and communication capabilities directly into devices. It enables analytics and data gathering to occur at the source of the data. What is the difference between Edge Computing and Fog Computing? Both fog computing and edge computing involve pushing intelligence and processing capabilities down closerContinue reading “IoT Edge 101”
The case of moving Intelligence to the Edge
There is a reason why DCS and SCADA systems in Industrial environments stayed on-prem, it’s the same reason that will drive IoT Intelligence closer to the Edge. There are thousands of scenarios where speed is the operational imperative from Asset management, critical production setup, command and control of high-value assets with predictive intelligence capabilities. The termContinue reading “The case of moving Intelligence to the Edge”
