VMware Pulse IoT Center Helps Customers Accelerate Their Digital Transformation Journey at the Edge with More Secure Edge Inf...
November 04 2019 - 8:00AM
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise
software, today showcased how customers – including the Nice Côte
D'Azur Metropolis, France; Chitale Dairy; and Saudi Investment Bank
– are adopting VMware Pulse IoT Center to accelerate their digital
transformation journey. Additionally, the company unveiled new
Pulse IoT Center capabilities that simplify the gateway on-boarding
and registration processes to help organizations scale their IoT
deployments.
“Organizations of all sizes and across industries are taking
advantage of VMware Pulse IoT Center to manage sprawling edge
infrastructure," said Lakshmi Mandyam, vice president of product
management, Edge and IoT solutions, VMware. "VMware delivers the
most advanced infrastructure management capabilities. It
dramatically accelerates IoT deployments to scale by providing a
single management platform that spans across all enterprise IoT use
cases.”
Pulse IoT Center Innovations Simplify Device Enrollment
and Enhance SecurityPulse IoT Center provides an open,
vendor-neutral edge management infrastructure platform to help
organizations manage any device, any app, on any cloud. Introduced
earlier this year in SaaS and on-premise versions, Pulse IoT Center
2.0 delivers capabilities designed to provide customers with
fine-grained management of the entire lifecycle of IoT and edge
devices, connected sensors, and applications.
Building on this momentum, VMware is today unveiling new Pulse
IoT Center capabilities including:
- Zero Touch On-boarding: Enterprises are
challenged with time-intensive and costly processes for on-boarding
new IoT devices that are fraught with security holes. With zero
touch on-boarding, enterprises can pre-stage IoT devices so the
device automatically and rapidly connects to the appropriate Pulse
IoT Center instance in a more secure and just-in-time manner with
minimal human intervention.Dell Gateway 3000 is the first
commercial gateway to offer zero touch on-boarding. Now, customers
can order Dell Gateway 3000 pre-loaded with zero touch on-boarding
software, thereby overcoming a major barrier to IoT provisioning
and security.
- Support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Attestation: Organizations need to ensure their edge
devices are secure and malicious activity that compromises device
integrity is detected immediately. Now in tech preview, Pulse IoT
Center can support TPM attestation that detects if an edge device
has been tampered with.
- Windows 10 IoT OS support in Pulse Agent:
Enterprises typically will not have the same types of gateways for
different use cases. The Pulse IoT Center philosophy supports the
myriad of gateways that run on various operating systems. In
addition to already supported Linux-based gateways, customers can
now install the Pulse Agent on edge systems and gateways with
Windows 10 IoT OS.
- Hands-On Lab Now Available: The new Pulse IoT
Center 2.0 Hands-on Lab (HOL) is now live for customers who want to
test drive the solution. HOLs provide a way for IT professionals to
extend their knowledge and skills with new VMware technologies. The
HOL for Pulse IoT Center provides users with four hours of
experiences in five modules.
Customers Benefit from VMware Pulse IoT
CenterThe city of Nice, the fifth
largest city in France with approximately 500,000
inhabitants, belongs to public establishment Nice Côte
d’Azur Metropolis. City leaders have put innovation and
sustainable development at the heart of the city’s economic
development strategy.
“Nice Côte D'Azur Metropolis is implementing smart city
innovations in a wide range of fields like smart buildings,
environment, mobility and risk management. And, in all of these
domains, it is essential to be confident in the technology
deployed. In risk management, for instance, the failure of a
rainfall measurement system during a storm event can have serious
consequences for the safety of property and people. Early
experiences show that VMware Pulse IoT Center can more
safely manage the infrastructure of the smart city by providing a
holistic view of critical assets," said Lionel Chaudanson, IT &
IoT Infrastructure Manager, Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolis.
Chitale Dairy, India's largest dairy, uses
technology to help farmers keep their cows healthier and more
productive, creating new economic opportunities that transform
communities.
“Chitale Dairy is taking its “cows to cloud” initiative, powered
by VMware, to even greater heights. This is a classic example of
how technology is making a global impact from farm to table,” said
Vishwas Chitale, CEO and CTO, Chitale Dairy. “Beyond the monitoring
of cows on farms, the use of technologies like VMware Pulse IoT
Center, HCI, and NSX has provided Chitale Dairy with greater
automation and analytics. They help provide complete control of the
whole process with enhanced information for decision making and
management throughout – from the raw milk collection at one of
Chitale Dairy’s farms to the end consumer hundreds of miles
away.”
One of the leading banks in Saudi Arabia, Saudi
Investment Bank (SAIB), operates more than 50 branches and
provides a broad range of banking products and services.
“Our goal is to improve customer experience throughout our
branches by using new innovative solutions. It is also very
important that we improve the operational processes of our own
internal IT systems,” said Khalid Al Abid, CTO, SAIB. “Saudi
Investment Bank is leveraging VMware Pulse IoT Center for
environmental monitoring of our datacenters and enables us to
extend the management of all our IoT initiatives in the branches on
the same reliable and industrial platform.”
