VMware Pulse IoT for Edge Fog

#News(IoTStack) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]

VMware is betting on IoT technology and edge computing as the way of the future. VMware’s Pulse IoT could lead this market?
What is VMware Pulse IoT?
VMware is taking advantage of a significant opportunity to help enterprise IT organizations manage thousands of edge servers. AirWatch can move from managing mobile devices to managing edge servers with relatively little change. Similarly, vRealize Automation already deploys and configures large populations of VMs; it isn’t a massive leap from that to large populations of edge servers.

Five questions about edge computing and IoT
VMware Pulse IoT aims to simplify device management outside of corporate or cloud data centers that require consistent configurations. These edge devices are embedded in other machines, such as autonomous cars, medical instruments and even smart surveillance cameras watching for vandals in the center of a city. With so many devices in such inconvenient locations, Pulse IoT must deliver robust remote management and simple deployments.

Security is a central element of VMware Pulse IoT; devices likely live on exposed and untrusted networks that are susceptible to all kinds of attacks from the internet, as well as physical attacks.

What’s new in VMware Pulse IoT 2.0?
VMware announced the second release of Pulse IoT at VMworld 2018 U.S. Version 2.0 adds more features to manage a large number of IoT devices. Changes include enhancements to existing features, better options for troubleshooting, and richer notifications and alerts for operations teams. Operations teams also have more control over updates delivered to IoT devices, as well as improved device deployment methodologies requiring less effort on each device.
