News releases and updates from the Losant team and beyond.
The Tech Tribune staff has compiled the very best tech startups in Cincinnati, Ohio. In doing our research, we considered several factors, including but not limited to:
International Data Corporation (IDC) today published an IDC Innovators report profiling three vendors offering solutions to streamline edge deployments and data collection at the edge. The three companies are: Elisity, IoTech, and Losant.
"Organizations are working across a diverse landscape of technologies and protocols to support digital-first businesses and operations. Deploying and operating edge infrastructure at scale is a heavy lift for most organizations. The vendors profiled in this IDC Innovators research are acutely aware of the challenges organizations face, and have developed technologies to make edge data collection easier and more secure," said Jennifer Cooke, research director, Edge Strategies at IDC.
“Losant takes a unique approach to the market, with a solution that is at once portable, usable, and customizable,” said Gonçalves. “The platform can be deployed in public or private clouds or on-premises environments, whereas most market players can only implement their platforms in public cloud or on-premises native environments. Frost & Sullivan believes these unified, embedded, and edge workflows in the field with application and experience workflows in the cloud are a market-first value proposition that can appeal to many customers with hybrid environments.”
Business consulting giant Frost & Sullivan has awarded Losant an innovation leadership award.
The award is for Losant’s Embedded Edge Agent (EEA), which the company spent two years of R&D creating. Losant’s IoT platform features both the EEA and a Gateway Edge Agent (GEA). GEA requires far more computing power – including 512MB of memory – but exposes more functionality. GEA is typically installed on an industrial gateway or modern computer in a private network. In contrast, EEA has minimal hardware requirements. Requiring just 2MB of memory, EEA is typically integrated into embedded hardware deep within a larger system.
The Edge Agent built into the WebAssembly module is proof of Losant’s ongoing efforts to stay ahead of the curve. Losant has made a two-year research and development (R & D) investment in this feature. This feature dynamically updates run-time behavior with speed and agility. Frost & Sullivan believes Losant’s built-in edge computing capabilities will improve production line responsiveness through integration with machine sensors, controllers, and gateways.
“The drag-and-drop workflow editor stands out in the market because it allows enterprises to build custom workflows and manage complex interactions between edge devices, networks, and the cloud, on their own, without programming resources.”
Carina Goncalves, Industry Principal
Analysts at Frost & Sullivan concluded that our recent feature, the Embedded Edge Agent, dynamically updates the runtime behavior of embedded devices with the speed and agility of a low-code development environment. In addition, we introduced features specifically for embedded computing that will have a significant impact on providing real-time insights to enterprises.
“Innovation, leadership, and standing out in the crowd are vital to competing in these competitive markets” states Stephanie Atkinson, CEO & founder of Compass Intelligence. Losant wins the award for IoT App Dev / Platform of the Year for the Enterprise Market.
IoT partnerships must have technology that meets or exceeds your development criteria, but the people, yes, the people you partner with, are key. They need to understand your goals, advise, and go deep on IoT. Check out this interview with Losant's Brian Cerchio!
