Understanding and overcoming IoT software development challenges
The rapid growth of the IoT market has put huge pressure on software development process. Not only do connected devices need to be brought to market fast, be cost effective and work efficiently, they often also require regular software updates, and in many cases, to comply with safety and security standards. By Chuck Gehman, Perforce Software.
Why are containers a benefit for Industrial IoT?
Virtual machines and containers have been well-accepted by enterprise IT, but they are now moving into non-IT areas, such as industrial IoT edge devices. Both are tools that developers and system management use to take separate single applications or systems and consolidate multiple applications on to a single compute platform or server to optimise compute resources and save IT/OT costs.
