Computing architecture firm ‘arm’ has acquired the enterprise data management company Treasure Data, enabling device-to-data Internet of Things (IoT) platform technologies from Treasure Data.
Arm said in an announcement that the acquisition of Stream and Arm Mbed Cloud will be combined to form the industry’s first end-to-end IoT connectivity, device and data management platform. The new ‘Arm Pelion IoT Platform’ will enable organisations to quickly, securely and sustainably create actionable insights from IoT, enterprise and third-party data, it added.
To deal with data volumes and complexity, businesses need to be able to seamlessly connect and manage their IoT devices, as well as manage their data flows. Arm has focused on supporting companies with this for several years, but a full solution taking care of all of a company’s data needs, from device-to-data, had only become possible now after the acquisition of Treasure Data.
What will the Arm Pelion IoT Platform do for devices and data?
The Pelion IoT Platform will enable companies to “seamlessly and securely connect and manage IoT devices and data at any scale”. It’s designed to work on public and private Clouds, on-premises and in hybrid environments, delivering ultimate flexibility in IoT system architectures.
This feature, said arm, will allow companies to quickly turn IoT and enterprise data into insights capable of unlocking new opportunities for them and their customers. The Pelion IoT Platform will also provide unified billing that lowers infrastructure costs, increases operational efficiency, and eliminates integration headaches.
In practical terms, this is what Arm Pelion IoT Platform will do:
The Pelion IoT Platform will make IoT outcomes real by delivering:
-
- Device Management – Secure and consistent IoT device provisioning, identity and access management and updates for any system set-up;
-
- Connectivity Management – Support for a range of wireless connectivity standards for any device, region or use case, including enablement of eSIM secure identification;
- Data Management – Analysis of trusted data, from individual devices to enterprise-wide big data deployments, including third-party data (works horizontally across apps and use-cases).
