EUROTECH (UK) ADVERTORIAL FEATURE
IDC Partner Spotlight Eurotech & Red Hat
According to IDC, IoT finds its prominence in the ability to capture and transport data and ultimately enable the tools required to analyze it. This has a clear impact on streamlining the business processes and decision making of organizations and consumers. Indeed, IoT is about bringing together people, processes, data, and applications to make networked connections more relevant by turning information into actions.

oT implementations can bring both tangible and intangible advantages to organizations, and are already a powerful competitive weapon for suppliers in a number of sectors such as automotive and healthcare.
To be successful, IoT architectures need
to link into lots of innovative application and data analytics code, implemented in a fast, iterative process. The best way to create this connection is through a strong middleware and PaaS backbone.
A typical IoT "chain" entails several
elements. Moving from the edge to the core, the IoT chain includes sensors, aggregation points (e.g. gateways), connectivity, data ingestion middleware, device management and messaging software, data storage and analytics software, hardware, and applications.
The flexible nature of IoT brings with it challenges related to connectivity, security and privacy, lack of skills, complexity in the back-end software platforms or middleware supporting the architecture. These are the challenges Eurotech sets out to address.
Eurotech is a publicly listed solution
provider in the M2M and IoT space with headquarters in Amaro, Italy, and a presence across Europe, North America, and Asia. Born as an “embedded” manufacturer, Eurotech gradually expanded its knowledge and expertise in open source operating systems, middleware, M2M communications, and IoT infrastructure. Now, IoT solutions are one of the major pillars in Eurotech’s offering.
IDC BELIEVES THAT EUROTECH'S APPROACH TO IOT HAS THE FOLLOWING KEY DIFFERENTIATORS: • Cloud first: PaaS solutions are built primarily for public cloud deployment, with the option of private on-premises deployment.
• Tight focus on optimizing the infrastructure, cooperating with third-party companies for application front-ends.
• Selection, fine-tuning, and integration of strategic third-party software modules into Eurotech's own intellectual property (Java middleware for gateways, orchestration scripts, etc.), especially in the back-end PaaS space.
/AUTOMATION
• Extensive experience in the verticals most ready for IoT adoption such as industrial manufacturing, transportation, and defense.
• Open source commitment in both front- and back-end software.
Eurotech, a Red Hat ISV Advanced
Partner, successfully collaborated with Red Hat in the development of their middleware technology.
The value of this cooperation ultimately resides in the fact that the combination of Red Hat messaging solutions and Eurotech's IoT Integration Platform enables gateways and edge devices to be managed and integrated with enterprise applications through different means, including simple application programming interfaces (APIs).
