Cisco outlined an expansion of its fog computing strategy with the
second phase of its IOx platform for industrial scale IoT
deployments. Cisco outlined increasing industry ecosystem partner
momentum and new hardened IoT platform support, and introduced its
IOx Application Management Module. As a key part of the Cisco® fog
computing strategy, IOx enables third party operating systems such as
Linux and industry software applications to run directly on Cisco
hardened IoT network platforms, which is critical for IoT solutions
where applications, storage and compute needs to reside closer to
“Things” such as sensors and devices.
Cisco provides a unique value for customers to fully exploit the
opportunities created by IoT through its ability to offer networking,
compute and storage from cloud to fog. Internet of Things deployments
involve unique requirements such as combining distributed sensors and
data, optimizing the analysis of data in motion as it enters the
network, and centralized control, which requires a new infrastructure
approach with strong centralized data center and robust Edge. Cisco’s
strategy to invest in hybrid Data Center solutions, including the
Intercloud as well as in the fog, creates an optimized infrastructure
for IoT.
Cisco also today outlined the components of its IoE Software and
Services Suite, which expands its IoT offerings and drives IoE value.
This suite analyzes the data culled from IoT deployments and connects
them with the people and business processes. This process
uncovers intelligence as well as application integration, process
automation, and context-aware mobile collaboration capabilities to
help organizations respond to information more quickly. Cisco
recently introduced solutions for urban safety and security, and
connected transportation that take advantage of these new
capabilities.
