HP Enterprise teams up with Intel for IoT edge computing

From ComputerWorld: Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the latest partner to work with Intel on the Internet of Things, announcing it will develop products for computing at the edges of networks.

The Intel IoT Platform is the chip company's set of technologies for building and running networks of connected things. The platform is designed in part to help Intel take on silicon rivals that use the mobile-friendly ARM architecture, but it also includes software and security components that could be used independent of Intel chips.

HPE will build products that act as gateways, collecting, processing and analyzing data from a variety of connected sensors and devices. The systems will be based on processors from Intel's Core i5 and Atom families. The first of its purpose-built IoT systems are set to become available next month.

Also on Tuesday, the two companies announced they have set up labs where enterprises can experiment with IoT applications and devices. The three IoT Discovery Labs are in Houston, Singapore and Grenoble, France. Users there can test technologies from third parties as well as from Intel and HP.
