Arm acquires Treasure Data to enable device-to-data IoT platform capability

Arm has announced the acquisition of enterprise data management provider Treasure Data in order to become the ‘final piece of the company’s IoT enablement puzzle.’ The move will see technology from Treasure Data, alongside another recent acquisition in connectivity management provider Stream, combine to form what Arm is calling the Pelion IoT Platform, which will ‘enable companies to seamlessly and securely connect and manage IoT devices and data at any scale’, in the words of the company. The Pelion IoT Platform will look at delivering three primary outcomes; around device management, connectivity management – as per the Stream technology – and data management. The platform will draw experience from more than 140 partners, across mobile, network operators, and other tech vendors.
