Edge Gateways
Iotellect redefines the edge computing paradigm by allowing to run the same software on the edge and in the cloud.
Iotellect Server equally runs on single-board PCs, IoT gateways, industrial PCs, touch panels, and PLCs—basically any hardware that supports Java-enabled operating systems (Linux, Windows, etc.). There's no difference in terms of functionality—just make sure to respect the scalability limits of the IoT edge instance.
Embedded Iotellect Server becomes the heart of the IoT Gateway capable of acquiring, storing, processing, and visualizing data using the whole power of the Iotellect toolset.
Such an IoT gateway can expose a certain amount of data to a higher-level Iotellect server via a so-called local agent. It can also be connected to other servers using the distributed architecture. This is how pre-processed and pre-aggregated data gets into the cloud.
IoT gateways are ideal when it’s necessary to monitor, supervise, and evolve a large number of remote facilities, such as telecom towers, pump stations, or electrical transformers. A system based on edge Iotellect servers introduces fully centralized control, easy upgrading, and advanced change management for thousands of facilities.
 | Since there is no difference between edge and cloud versions of Iotellect Server, this documentation doesn't have a large dedicated Edge section. All capabilities of Iotellect are available on the edge side - feel free to explore! |
