Palo Alto, Aug 24, 2016: Cloud infrastructure and business mobility solutions provider VMware, Inc. has announced key strategic alliances in the Internet of Things (IoT) space to help bridge the gap between IT and operational technology (OT) worlds. VMware has tied up with Bayshore Networks, Dell, Intwine Connect, Deloitte Digital, PTC and V5 Systems.
“IoT is said to be the largest addressable market since the advent of the Internet, and the true potential of IoT has yet to be realised in the enterprise. As a company that has been delivering technology innovations to enterprises for nearly 20 years, we will leverage our core strengths around device management, operational analytics and security to help bring specific IoT offerings to customers,” said Bask Iyer, Chief Information Officer and General Manager, IoT, VMware. “Our work with these companies will be important in helping businesses meet their strategic needs for IoT applications, analytics, hardware and services, ultimately extending their reach from the data center and Cloud to the edge.”
In June, VMware announced Liota (Little IoT Agent), a vendor-neutral open source software development kit (SDK) for building secure IoT gateway data and control orchestration applications. VMware plans to continue to develop IoT-related alliances to help customers address complex IoT use cases across healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, government, CPG and more.
