HP Enterprise Launches Converged IoT Systems for Edge Analytics - Analytics on Top Tech News

The company said the new Edgeline EL1000 (pictured above) and Edgeline EL4000 converged systems target enterprise clients deploying IoT devices in remote environments, also known as the "edge of the network." While the recent proliferation of IoT devices has made it increasingly possible for companies to gather massive amounts of data from remote locations in the field, retrieving that information and performing intensive analytics on it has been challenging. Some companies, such as those in the oil and gas, manufacturing, and telecommunications industries face particular challenges when it comes to harnessing big data in remote environments, HPE said. "Until now, the remote data would have to be transported to a data center or cloud for analysis, which can be a slow, risky and inefficient process," the company said in a statement. The two new systems are aimed at enabling organizations to harness their data onsite by delivering real-time analytics and machine learning at the point of data collection.
