Industrial IoT Spotlight

There has been increasing interest in recent times in the IoT world with regards to the edge domain of the IoT technology stack. In particular, the focus has been on moving increasing compute power to the edge domain in order to improve real time IoT application response with big firms such as Dell doubling down on the edge with their recent IQT initiative.  In the second part of this episode, we are happy to be joined again by Foghorn's CEO David King who will do a deep dive into the technology driving the latest advancements in edge analytics.

Fog computing is a concept of bringing a layer of computing power closer to the edge of an enterprise's network and was a term coined by Cisco several years ago as part of their "Internet of Everything" pioneering initiative. While Cisco succeeded at the networking element of fog computing, that left the whole computing side of the equation unanswered. In the first episode of this three-part series, we chat with a company that was formed with the core objective of finding the answers to this question. We are pleased to welcome David King, CEO of FogHorn Systems to the show who will be telling us more about the company and how they are working hard to bring IoT intelligence closer to the edge.
