Data is fundamental to any IoT solution, and so accessing it easily and cost-effectively is crucial to commercial success.
What is cloud computing?
The cloud, meaning cloud computing, is essentially the storing and accessing of data and programs over the internet instead of on your computer’s hard drive. Cloud computing enables on-demand delivery of computing services meaning business owners can avoid purchasing, owning, and cultivating physical in-house data centers and services, and access IT resources when they need them through a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
Organizations from every end of the spectrum are utilising cloud computing for a vast amount of reasons including data storage, virtual desktops, software development, big data analytics and customer facing web applications.
What is edge computing?
Edge computing, which can often be referred to as grid computing, essentially pushes the computational functions to the edge of the network. Instead of the data being sent to the cloud, the data is processed and kept closer to the data’s original source, rather than relying on a central location. …
Start the project on robust, configurable, hardware that is ready for scale.
The c2 IoT development platform comes equipped with our c2 baseboard. As suggested by the name, the c2 baseboard is intended to serve as the hardware foundation for any IoT based project; a platform that can be built upon using the c2 software blocks coupled with additional sensors and communication modules as required. This enables time-effective development of proof of concepts, and prototypes. For example, the board pictured is the c2 baseboard synergy variant boasting Renesas Synergy S7 processor as well as an Atmel ATWINC1500 and Silicon Labs BGM11S providing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity respectively. …

Successful IoT requires access to high quality relevant data. That’s a given. Much thought goes into how data will be used, how data will be stored and how data will be accessed. Less thought, however, tends to go into how the data is collected. Collecting data can be costly and difficult and, although it is easy to push the difficult things to the back, when this area comes into focus, many business cases can be less viable. …
Most IoT projects follow the same development journey; Proof of concept, prototype, piloting, and then production with refinements along the way. And most fail — only 26% of companies successfully implement an IoT initiative, and 90% of tech start up’s fail. Why is that? The answer is often due to overspending and lack of funds, slow time to market, and no viable business case.
And whilst agile, iterative approaches to development, such as minimal viable products, have helped improve the journey, there are still many pitfalls along the way. …
