INFLUXDATA & VMWARE TO OPTIMIZE DATA COLLECTED FROM IOT DEVICES

The San Francisco-based InfluxData has recently announced that it will be collaborating with VMware to optimize streaming data collected from devices based on Internet of Things (IoT). Reportedly, InfluxData’s open source database technology will be integrated with VMware’s IoT infrastructure management solution Pulse IoT Center. According to sources familiar with the matter, the new solution will incorporate two products from InfluxData including Kapacitor and InfluxDB Enterprise to optimize the handling of time series data from IoT devices, infrastructure running at the edge, sensors, and the usage of VMware Pulse IoT. As reported by IoTForAll, InfluxDB Enterprise is an open source database optimized for time series data, while Kapacitor is the real-time processing component that is used to evaluate sensor data in real time. VMware Pulse IoT Center is a safe and secure IoT device management and monitoring solution that allows customers to monitor, manage, onboard, and secure connected devices and IoT systems. The platform is also expected to simplify IoT device management and bridge the gap between information and operational technology organizations with Pulse IoT Center.
