Announces Platform, Products and Expanded
Company Ecosystem Designed to Accelerate Adoption and
Innovation
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Intel® IoT Platform unifies gateway,
connectivity and security components to simply deploy IoT.
- Designed to provide a repeatable
foundation for devices to deliver trusted data to the cloud.
- New integrated hardware and software
products based on the platform.
- Announces new relationships with
Accenture*, Booz Allen Hamilton*, Capgemini*, Dell*, HCL*, NTT
DATA*, SAP*, Tata Consultancy* and Wipro* to develop and deploy
solutions on the Intel IoT Platform.
Intel Corporation today announced the Intel® IoT Platform, an
end-to-end reference model designed to unify and simplify
connectivity and security for the Internet of Things (IoT). Intel
also introduced integrated hardware and software products based on
the new platform and new relationships with an expanded ecosystem
of system integrators that promise to move IoT from infancy to mass
deployment.
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.
For example, Rudin Management*, a New York City real estate
company who developed its own system software called DiBoss, has
demonstrated that it can intelligently manage energy and other
systems in its buildings. In one year, in one building, the company
saved nearly $1 million to its bottom line, which would translate
to a savings of 50 cents for every square foot of real estate it
owns and manages.
“The power of IoT on our company’s business will have
significant impact,” said John Gilbert, COO, Rudin Management. “We
are a real estate company that used to dabble in technology, but
now because of IoT, we are a technology company that dabbles in
real estate.”
Horizontal Approach to IoT
The Intel IoT Platform helps deliver innovations to market
faster, reducing solution complexity, and delivering actionable
intelligence faster by offering a defined, repeatable foundation
for how devices will connect and deliver trusted data to the
cloud.
“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, vice president and general manager, Internet of
Things Group, Intel. “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.”
Expanding IoT Ecosystem
IoT has enormous potential to drive economic value and social
change, but no company can do it alone. A robust ecosystem is
needed to scale. To that end, Intel announced new solutions and
relationships to boost the IoT ecosystem. Accenture*, Booz Allen
Hamilton*, Capgemini*, Dell*, HCL*, NTT DATA*, SAP*, Tata
Consultancy*, Wipro* and others are joining together with Intel to
develop and deploy solutions using their building blocks on the
Intel IoT Platform. These solutions will help provide a repeatable
foundation for IoT and free up developers’ time to focus on
building solutions that expertly address specific customer pain
points.
“Accenture is focused on helping clients realize the business
value of the IoT as quickly and easily as possible,” said Mike
Sutcliff, group chief executive, Accenture Digital. “Our combined
capabilities can help us achieve that, and can also help clients
get around some of the biggest roadblocks to IoT adoption by
offering a simpler, faster way to roll out end to end IoT solutions
than currently exists. Together, we can enable clients to define a
clear value strategy for the IoT, and by using Accenture’s industry
experience and digital assets to complement Intel’s IoT platform,
we can create robust, end-to-end frameworks designed to overcome
challenges associated with security, scalability and
interoperability in IoT implementations.”
Integrated Hardware and Software
Intel is also delivering a roadmap of integrated hardware and
software products to support the Intel IoT Platform. Spanning from
edge devices out to the cloud, the roadmap includes API management
and service creation software, edge-to-cloud connectivity and
analytics, intelligent gateways, and a full line of scalable IA
processors. Security is fundamental to the roadmap with both
dedicated security products and security features embedded into
hardware and software products.
Intel is evolving and optimizing this product roadmap to work
seamlessly together with building blocks from the ecosystem to
address the key challenges solution providers are facing when
implementing IoT, including interoperability, security and
connectivity.
The new products from Intel include:
- Wind River Edge Management System
provides cloud connectivity to facilitate device configuration,
file transfers, data capture and rules-based data analysis and
response. This pre-integrated technology stack enables 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.
- The latest Intel® IoT Gateway will
integrate the Wind River Edge Management System via an available
agent so gateways can be rapidly deployed, provisioned and managed
throughout the life cycle of a system to reduce costs and time to
market. In addition, the gateway includes performance improvements,
support for lower cost memory options and a broader selection of
available communication options. Intel IoT Gateways are currently
available from seven ODMs with 13 more releasing systems in early
2015.
- To get value out of the data generated
in deployments using the Intel® IoT Platform, developers need a
powerful yet easy-to-use approach to big data analytics. Intel is
expanding its cloud analytics support for IoT Developer Kits to
include the Intel® IoT Gateway series, in addition to Intel®
Galileo boards and Intel® Edison Modules. Cloud analytics enables
IoT application developers to detect trends and anomalies in time
series at big data scale.
- McAfee, a part of Intel Security,
announced Enhanced Security for Intel IoT Gateways in support of
the Intel IoT Platform. This pre-validated solution adds advanced
security management for gateway devices.
- Intel Security also announced that its
Enhanced Privacy Identity (EPID) technology will be promoted to
other silicon vendors. EPID has anonymity properties, in addition
to hardware-enforced integrity, and is included in ISO and TCG
standards. The EPID technology provides an on-ramp for other
devices to securely connect to the Intel IoT Platform.
- The Intel API and Traffic Management
solution utilizes Intel Mashery solutions to enable creation of
building blocks that make it easy to build new software
applications. Customers of the Intel IoT Platform today have access
to the Intel Mashery API management tools to create data APIs that
can be shared internally, externally with partners or monetized as
revenue-generating data services for customers.
