Data at the Edge of the IoT: Computing Fast Enough for Real Time Applications Ready Now
Tackling the edge of the Industrial IoT (IIoT) is a challenge being taken up by literally hundreds of IoT technology companies, platform providers, ecosystems and communities, including Linux Foundation’s EdgeX Foundry, and Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) among several others.
While clearly some progress has been made, given the growth of IIoT, adoption by large global enterprises and organizations may hinge on the ability to collect and process data at faster speeds, including low latency speeds so fast that real time, or near real time, solutions are feasible.
