Common problems with IoT infrastructures
In systems with many IoT devices, it can be difficult to carry out maintenance and avoid device downtime. Devices are often installed in places that are hard to access physically, such as in wind turbines, factory pollution monitoring systems and outdoor digital signage applications, so they cannot be repaired or updated on the spot. According to Gartner, as much as 80% of IT costs are incurred after the initial purchase, with downtime and maintenance ranking as the biggest source of expenditures. ASUS IoT Cloud Console is designed to help mitigate these concerns.
ASUS IoT Cloud Console
ASUS IoT Cloud Console (AICC) is a unified platform for managing and analyzing big data collected by IoT devices running different operating systems. With an intuitive user interface advanced data-encryption technology and Innodisk iSMART, AICC enables users to collect and analyze comprehensive information in a variety of smart-technology sectors, such as transportation, retail and farming, to assist them in making the best decisions at the right times to seize business opportunities.
Enhanced out-of-band management powered by Innodisk InnoAGE
ASUS and Innodisk have partnered to develop a new InnoAGE SSD-powered ASUS PE200U and PE200S edge computer that is designed to help reduce labor and costs in AIoT applications. SSDs are increasingly dominant in responsive industrial storage, due to their unbeatable blend of speed, low power consumption, small size, and low maintenance. InnoAGE SSD is Innodisk's out-of-band management-enabled flash storage solution, equipped with Microsoft Azure Sphere. InnoAGE enables multifunctional management, timely maintenance, smart data analysis and firmware updates, data security and remote control through the cloud.
