The new rise of time-series databases

Time-series data storage and management has long been an interesting—if quiet—market category. It’s been a multibillion-dollar business for years and a mainstay in process-manufacturing plants since the 1980s. But recently, the category has been getting another look from investors and companies large and small. Why? For starters, time-series data volumes are huge: way back in 2010 […]

The Data is Already Here, How to Unlock The Value of it?

Many enterprises find early success at “proving the concept” of industrial IoT, but fail to realize monetary benefits from their investments. Providing value requires solutions that do more than extract data from machines in the field, store it in the cloud, and display it in an app – which is as far as most PoC […]

Securing IoT Devices and Traffic between IoT Sensors and Cloud Analytics

It is well documented that IoT devices have introduced new security risks. Most IoT devices must interface to cloud based management and analytics engines and therefore support a TCP/IP stack for this communication. Our IoT endpoint software is designed to augment a device’s TCP/IP stack with very little overhead, providing authentication to the cloud services. […]

Your Cloud Ready Monitoring Solution

The percentage of businesses moving from a traditional physical infrastructure model to a cloud deployment model is increasing year, upon year. While public deployments are rising steadily, private deployments are skyrocketing, and across both, a hybrid deployment model is still accounting for the majority of business centric cloud use. All recent research shares the opinion that this […]
