Wind River unveils new cloud-based IoT platform

BANGALORE, INDIA: Wind River has unveiled Edge Management System, a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) platform that enables devices to connect securely to a centralized console, providing device management and solution extensibility. The platform is an integral part of the Intel IoT platform.

Edge Management System is a pre-integrated technology stack running from the device to the cloud that has been validated to work 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.

It allows customers to quickly build industry-specific IoT solutions and integrate disparate enterprise IT systems, utilizing 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.

Edge Management System includes the following key features:

· Device management: Remote device management capabilities reduce service costs by enabling remote diagnostics and maintenance.

· Security: Secure software updates are integrated with on-device security features such as white listing and integrity monitoring.

· Telemetry and analytics: Remote data capture collects sensor and system health data, and transforms them into actionable intelligence.

Edge Management System will be integrated and validated with Intel IoT Gateway, which includes Wind River Intelligent Device Platform XT, a complete software development environment that provides pre-integrated and fully 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 maximum flexibility in IoT implementations.
