What is Edge X Foundry and why use it?
...
- Flexibility: Edge X Foundry is polyglottic enabling Developers to develop components in any software language and not be limited to only one language, such as Java. Other software connecting to IoT is not as flexible and requires Developers to use specific programming languages.
- Usability: Edge X Foundry provides the Software Development Kit (SDK) to provide scaffolding to get you started.
- Reliability: Edge X Foundry is supported by Dell, a recognized large, stable, experienced, reliable presence in the world, and in high tech industriesa wide array of reliable, established companies. Other software do does not have the support of large, experienced worldwide, high such an array of high tech industry leaders.
Architectural Tenets
...
- Hardware independent (Intel, Arm, and so forth)
- OS independent (Windows, Linux, *nix, and so forth)
- Flexible deployment models (virtualization, containerization, local, cloud, and so forth)
- Microservices everywhere for everything--independently developed, deployed, updated modules of the gateway software and reduction of single points of failure
- Productivity over technology--select your programming language (polyglottic), select your framework
- Best practices solutions, and supports the ecosystem (any microservice can be replaced by a better service or one that better supports a particular use case)
