Open-Source EdgeX Foundry Seeks to Standardize Internet of Things

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols | ZDNet | April 24, 2017

Security is the Internet of Things' (IoT) Achilles heel. One reason that's so is there is a lack of common IoT development standards. The Linux Foundation, along with 50 companies, is addressing this by building a common open-framework for IoT edge computing and an ecosystem of interoperable components under a new open-source consortium: The EdgeX Foundry. The new initiative has a common goal: The simplification and standardization of Industrial IoT edge computing, while still allowing room for vendors to add their own value-add features...

Servers Will Lead the Data Center Evolution

Industry Perspectives | Data Center Knowledge | September 19, 2013

The last decade has seen the data center focus on a number of key technologies in order to improve efficiency. Since 2000, virtualization has been at the heart of increasing server utilization, allowing businesses to consolidate hardware and reap significant cuts in operating expenses. This was followed by a holistic focus on data center design, from the layout of suites to the efficiencies of HVAC and electricity supply. However, data center design will turn its focus on the server in order to make the next step to increase efficiency.
