Hi everyone, in this blog we are going to analyse the IoT solution of a very big tech giant, Intel.
Contents: Intel IoT
Introduction
Intel Corp. introduced its new platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) in late 2014. The world’s largest processor manufacturer was trying to secure a foothold in the growing IoT industry. Being with the motive to make an impact in the realm of Big Data analytics.
As said by the organisation, “The Intel IoT Platform is an end-to-end reference model. It is a family of products from Intel that works with third-party solutions. The main motive is to provide a foundation for seamlessly and securely connecting devices. Along this, is delivering trusted data to the cloud, and delivering value through analytics.”
It helps deliver innovations to market faster. As a result, reducing solution complexity and delivering intelligence by offering a defined foundation. This tells for how devices will connect and deliver trusted data to the cloud.
The IoT-Based Solution
Given below is the Intel’s IoT solution. Moreover, this info-graphics indicate how the company targets various prominent aspects. Have a look!
The whole ideology can be set broadly into three stages. These can then be divided into more sub points. We will now discuss them.
Stage-1
- Developer Kits, Tools, SDK : This includes rapid move to prototyping, piloting and production.
- Interconnected things : The main parameters include sense, filter, process, analyze and actuate. Along with that, securing and managing machines and data is important.
- Data and Device Management : This supports monitoring and remote control of devices.
Stage-2
- Connect the unconnected: Capture, filter, process and storing data are the important aspects. Moreover, performing analytics at the edge.
- Visualize Data: Similarly, providing information and creating new services while automating the operations.
Stage-3
End-To-End Security: This includes detecting threats and thus securing the hardware, software as well as data.
Key Benefits
The IoT Developer Kits include: hardware such as boards, sensors, and actuators; software tools including images or packages; support for leading IDEs such as Eclipse, Intel XDK IoT Edition, Arduino, and Wyliodrin; Cloud services; and additional tools and products to boost optimization and performance.
In addition to the developer kits and IoT gateways, Intel highlighted the Wind River Edge Management System as a central product of its new platform. Integrated with the latest Intel IoT Gateway, the Wind River Edge Management System supplies connectivity to the Cloud to help configure devices, transfer files, capture data, and provide rules-based data analysis and response.
Some Key Benefits include:
- Security: Deliver trusted data with a tight integration of hardware- and software-based security. As a result, it starts where data is most resilient to attack.
- Scalability: To transfer data from device to cloud with processors from Intel® Quark™ to Intel® Xeon® and Intel®-based devices, gateways, and data-center solutions.
- Manageability: Get advanced data management and analytics from sensor to data-center.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Intel’s IoT platform enables customers to quickly build industry-specific IoT solutions. Secondly, they can integrate enterprise IT systems, utilizing API management. Moreover, the Cloud-based middle ware, which runs from the things up through the Cloud, helps reduce time to market and total cost of ownership. With all of this going for it, Intel’s IoT platform is a worthy contender to the IoT playing field.
