Edgeline: HPE’s marriage of IoT and OT | #HPEdiscover
HPE’s future is in IoT, and the future of HPE’s IoT is Edgeline.
On day two of HPE Discover 2016, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE) and National Instruments Corp. announced Edgeline IoT. Edgeline is a converged Internet of Things (IoT) system that utilizes operational technology (OT). Calling Edgeline “the future of IoT,” Dr. Tom Bradicich, VP and GM of Servers IoT at HPE, called out Edgeline as a “first product category” likening it to the first automobile.
Sharing the details behind Edgeline, Eric Starkloff, EVP of Global Sales Marketing at National Instruments, joined Bradicich for an interview with John Furrier (@furrier) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante), cohosts of theCUBE from the SiliconANGLE Media team, at HPE Discover 2016 in Las Vegas. Essentially how Edgeline works is by using OT to extract data from the “real world” and then connect that data with IoT. This connection is “two industries coming together,” said Bradicich.
The data center at the edge
Starkloff explained how National Instruments’ PXI platform facilitates the measurement and acquisition of data, including analog data — the largest and oldest source of data. The EVP has observed a trend in data of requiring more measurement and always needing to be faster. Professionals in the industry need to “make a decision in microseconds” and that is the benefit of the data center at the edge, noted Starkloff.
Bradicich stated Edgeline is all about data acquisition and control with deep 86 compute, storage and other features to boot. Starkloff discussed how data previously “lived in a silo away from everything else” but now Edgeline is “connecting [the data center] to the rest of the industry.” Bradicich insisted that Edgeline is “not a replacement for everything” but rather an “introduction of a platform.” HPE and National Instruments will continue to add more to the mix. Bradicich predicted general availability for Edgeline at the end of summer 2016.
