The addition of new Intel®


Quark™


processors for IoT make it easier to scale from things to cloud with Intel®


but also extends its OS footprint to microcontrollers (MCUs). The new suite helps developers simplify and accelerate IoT application and device development – they can start building applications in as little as 10 minutes.

Quark™


processors for IoT, making it easier to scale from things Quark™


SE microcontroller for IoT microcontroller D1000 and D2000 deliver


advanced processing capabilities in power envelopes as low as 0.025 W (thermal design power). The new products offer long-life reliability and an extended temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C) for demanding environments. The Intel Quark SE microcontroller for IoT includes an integrated sensor hub and pattern-matching tech- nology to deliver real-time insights from complex sensor data at the very edge.


IoT software developers can get a quick start creating fast, intelli- gent things with Intel Quark processors through Intel®


for Microcontrollers. This Eclipse*-based suite offers proven tools to locally build, debug, and analyze software using familiar workflows.


The Gateway to the Internet of Things A key building block of the Intel IoT platform is Intel®


IoT Gateway


Technology. This platform enables Alliance members to create scal- able, application-ready IoT gateways for connecting things to the cloud – including the billions of legacy devices never designed for Internet connection or to handle today’s world of security threats (Figure 3, on page 8). Articles in this issue show how these gateways are evolving

processors.


quickly through innovations from Intel and the Alliance. Members now offer more than 50 gateway solutions based on the design.


The addition of high-performance Intel® Core™ processors to Intel


IoT Gateway Technology is enabling greater edge intelligence. This intelligence is critical to fulfilling the IoT’s promise because, as important as Big Data analytics is, not all data needs to or should be sent to the cloud for analysis. In fact, it would be too costly, too slow, and too expensive. The use of higher performance processors in IoT gateways enables substantially greater local analytics capabilities, allowing businesses to analyze and act on edge information in near real-time while reserving more robust cloud and data center analysis for enterprise-wide applications. Gateways are now available with 6th generation Intel®


Core™ processors, Intel’s most scalable pro-


cessor family ever, offering a wide range of performance in smaller power envelopes.


Powerful Analytics and Cloud Solutions The Intel IoT platform includes guidance for cloud analytics solutions, data visualization tools, and insight monetization. These solutions run on Intel®


Xeon® processors that combine multicore performance and


compute density with hardware-based manageability, security, virtual- ization, and power management. Here are some examples of Alliance members’ cloud solutions and services:


• Premier member Dell offers the Dell Cloud with VMware* vCloud* Datacenter Service. Dell hosts this enterprise-class, multi-tenant infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) public cloud solution in secured Dell data centers.
