Why a Flexible IoT Core is CRITICAL for Success
Session Abstract:
There is a lot of buzz about IoT Core and Edge technologies these days. Usually, they are discussed as distinct technologies that evolved along separate paths. IoT Core technologies grew up in the cloud while IoT Edge technologies evolved later for constrained devices to run local processing. What is an IoT Core and how is it different from an IoT Edge? What if that same IoT Core can co-exist at the Edge? What capabilities does this open up for companies wishing to scale their IoT deployments both in the cloud and at the Edge? I will explore these questions and more as we discuss why a flexible IoT Core is CRITICAL for both the cloud and the Edge.
