Distributed computing in Internet of Everything (IoE): the real value of Cisco.

Henceforth Cisco possesses its compass. Big data and Internet of Everything (IoE) trends obliges, Cisco has revealed its exciting ambition. The release of IOx, Cisco aims to accelerate the adoption of Internet of Things by delivering key capabilities for distributed computing and the deployment of applications securely at the edge of the network.

In this adventure, Cisco is already well surrounded by Rockwell Automation, SAP, OSIsoft and STMicroelectronics.

Connectikpeople.co observes that, Cisco IOx enables applications to run directly at the network edge, with the goal to overcome rising operational costs and spark new innovations in the Internet of Things.

Meaning that, with the new Cisco® IOx capability, users, solution providers across industries will be able to develop, manage and run software applications directly on Cisco industrial networked-devices, including hardened routers, switches and IP video

cameras.

In fact, we talk about innovation, agility and efficiency to meet the growing need for distributed computing in IoT for managing the smart grid, adding greater automation in process industries and more efficiency in the public sector.  

Based on this reality, Cisco IOx brings the open-source Linux operating system and Cisco IOS® network operating system together in a single networked device, which can allow applications to run and can respond instantly to actionable data sensed in an IoE world.

Regarding developers, they can bring their own applications (BYOA) and connectivity interfaces (BYOI) at the edge of the network and help advance the deployment of IoE across different industries such as utilities, manufacturing and transportation.

Cisco IOx capabilities will initially be available in Cisco industrial routers this spring. A note of 8 out of ten rewards this new milestone.
