Dell is introducing new research
on smart buildings and will join Intel to discuss its findings at the Intelligent
Buildings Conference (IBcon) in Las Vegas today. Enabling building
automation is a key element of Dell’s strategy of supporting customers
around the world and across various industries in realizing their vision
for the Internet of Things (IoT). Dell and Intel are helping architects
and organizations imagine the next generation of integrated,
open-architected, IP-centric, connected, high-performance, sustainable,
energy-efficient, operationally efficient, and intelligent buildings.
At IBcon today, during the Internet of Things and the Impact to
Commercial & Corporate Real Estate session, Intel representatives will
discuss the IoT technology trends that will materially impact how system
integrators manage and deliver services in the future. During this
session, Intel, with the support of Dell, will describe how devices will
become Internet connected and how highly automated systems will replace
analog to lead to more efficient, engaging, and profitable real estate.
“This new way of thinking about architecture – overlaying an IT network,
connecting all traditionally unconnected equipment, and analyzing and
controlling business processes without human intervention – will lead to
much better managed assets, which translates to happier occupants and
improved finances,” said Glenn Wintrich, innovation leader, CTO office,
Dell. “This roadmap and productization for the smart buildings market
segment is just the beginning of Dell’s service offerings. Look for more
to come on IoT and building automation in the future.”
“Dell’s strategy for creating the framework for the enterprise
architecture of smart buildings aligns well with Intel’s vision of the
Internet of Things,” said Eric Free, vice president, Smart Homes and
Buildings, Internet of Things Group, Intel. “Intel® Gateway Solutions
enable smart buildings from existing equipment, which along with edge
analytics capabilities, can be harnessed to save energy, save money,
save resources, save valuable time and potentially save lives.”
Dell is taking its IoT focus a step further by collaborating with others
in the industry (including Intel) to help architects and IT
organizations capitalize on these transformative technology approaches
for smart buildings and the Internet of Things. In a Dell white
paper made available today, Dell outlines its recommendations for
organizations interested in the smart building trend:
1. Define Organization’s As-Is and To-Be state: Take stock in the
current systems and subsystems in a centralized list. Use a Maturity
Matrix as an engagement method to assess where the organization is, and
how to get to where it wants to be. Focus first on the business outcome
or user experience that the organization wants to create.
2. Technology and Project Timeline: Outline the desired outcome,
time requirements, and standard building blocks required to achieve your
desired business case objectives and end result. This fosters
discussions that determine business relevance and return on investment
(ROI).
3. Open Reference Architecture: Utilize a non-proprietary, open
reference architecture system that takes into account the existing
infrastructure, as well as the types of connected systems the
organization wants to create.
4. Industrialization: Architect an industrial environment and
provide a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the architecture, so teams
can develop software across disparate systems. A great reference point
to develop an SDK is to break the systems up along the lines of
automation and analyze the data.

Latest Stories By Elizabeth White  Docker containers have brought great opportunities to shorten the deployment process through continuous integration and the delivery of applications and microservices. This applies equally to enterprise data centers as well as the cloud. In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Jari Kolehmainen, founder and CTO of Kontena, discussed solutions and benefits of a deeply integrated deployment pipeline using technologies such as container management platforms, Docker containers, and the drone.io Cl tool.

The explosive proliferation of IoT solutions will result in an exponential growth in the volume of IoT data, precipitating significant Information Governance issues: who owns the IoT data, what are the rights/duties of IoT solutions adopters towards t...

You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You’re looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you’re concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

Integrating system-level analysis with microservices makes it easier to change and add functionality to applications at any time without the increase of risk. Before you start big transformation projects or a cloud migration, make sure these changes won’t take down your entire organization. Apr. 25, 2018 06:00 PM EDT Reads: 6,379 | By Elizabeth White  It is ironic, but perhaps not unexpected, that many organizations who want the benefits of using an Agile approach to deliver software use a waterfall approach to adopting Agile practices: they form plans, they set milestones, and they measure progress by how many teams they have engaged. Old habits die hard, but like most waterfall software projects, most waterfall-style Agile adoption efforts fail to produce the results desired. The problem is that to get the results they want, they have to ch...

This was our starting point: too many integration issues, 13 SWP days and very long cycles. It was evident that in this fast-paced industry we could no longer afford this reality. We needed something that would take us beyond reducing the development lifecycles, CI and Agile methodologies. We made a fundamental difference, even changed our culture...

We all agree that collecting relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be stored. However, with the rapid development of IoT devices and ongoing business model transformation, we are not able to predict the volume and growth of IoT data. And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not app...
