Technology Leaders Integrate Operational Data
with Cloud-Based Back-End Services for End-to-End IOT
Implementations
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, and Eurotech (ETH:IM), a leading provider of
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) platforms and Internet of Things (IoT)
solutions, today announced a collaboration to simplify IoT
integration and accelerate implementations of IoT projects. Red Hat
and Eurotech have combined their complementary technologies with
the intention of building an end-to-end architecture for IoT that
will seek to bridge the gap between operational and information
technology.
Eurotech and Red Hat technologies will strive to solve the
problems of scalability, performance latency, reliability, and
security inherent to complex IoT implementations. Based on pushing
computing power to the network edge, the combined solution will
help to remove the need to ship masses of data to the cloud for
real-time processing by enabling essential data aggregation, data
transformation, integration, and routing to occur close to the
operational devices, triggering business rules that automate
machine processes.
Forming the foundation of this new architecture are the world’s
leading enterprise Linux platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and
market-leading Eurotech M2M/IoT software. Combining Red Hat
Enterprise Linux and Red Hat JBoss Middleware along with Eurotech
Everyware Software Framework and Eurotech Everyware Cloud will help
to drive enhanced computing security, manageability, and
application support for IoT solutions, providing connectivity to
the device tier as well as the datacenter and cloud tier. Combined,
Red Hat and Eurotech products and expertise can deliver powerful
data, device and embedded application management services to
customers that need to integrate their assets in the field more
efficiently with the world of enterprise IT and mobile
applications.
Through this collaboration, both companies are able to leverage
their experiences in supporting IoT deployments numbering in the
hundreds of thousands of devices. By choosing enterprise-ready open
source software from Red Hat, Eurotech seeks to offer their
customers a solution that they can deploy with greater ease while
extending and adapting as technology and market opportunities
evolve. Together, Red Hat and Eurotech are able to provide enabling
technologies that can link operational systems to the enterprise,
helping to simplify integration with IT applications and
systems.

“Working with partners such as Eurotech that truly understand
the unique challenges and opportunities presented by industrial IoT
has helped to confirm the value that mission critical IT solutions
and open source innovation brings to large-scale IoT deployments.
By collaborating with Eurotech and building the next-generation of
IoT architecture on Red Hat solutions while embracing open
standards, we seek to better address the enterprise requirements
around reliability, stability, and security, critical questions
that must be answered to foster greater adoption of IoT across the
enterprise.”
Robert Andres, CMO, Eurotech
“Good collaborations build on a common understanding of success
factors, technology and an aligned vision. The joint work between
Red Hat and Eurotech is a perfect example of such a collaboration.
Both companies understand the value and necessity of a strong
ecosystem to deliver IoT solutions. The companies’ respective
competencies and products complement each other - Red Hat on the
enterprise IT side, and Eurotech on the operational technology (OT)
side with hardware and software. What’s more, Open Source and Java
are important pillars in both companies’ strategies, and all these
factors ensure a good alignment and many synergies between the
parties.”
Eugene Signorini, senior analyst, IoT, Enterprise Strategy
Group
“Enterprise Strategy Group considers open standards important to
drive technology innovation in the IoT market. The Red Hat and
Eurotech partnership helps drive IoT innovation in a way that
addresses critical business issues around security, reliability and
scalability.”
