There is a new internet of things (IoT) project launching at the Linux Foundation today—EdgeX Foundry. Dell is contributing its Fuse IoT code base as the initial code for EdgeX Foundry, providing an open framework for IoT interoperability.
“We lack a common framework for building edge IoT solutions—above individual devices and sensors but below the connection to the cloud,” Philip DesAutels, senior director of IoT at the Linux Foundation, told eWEEK. “That means every development that gets done today is bespoke, and that means it is fragile, costly and immobile.”
DesAutels said that with its common framework, EdgeX aims to help solve some of the current challenges of IoT deployment. EdgeX provides with developers a plug-and-play infrastructure to create edge solutions.
