Splunk Edge Hub - Smart Data Acquisition

Splunk^® provides data platform technology worldwide, supporting shared data across multiple environments. Splunk Edge Hub aims to simplify data acquisition and management by capturing data from the environment, contributing to digital transformation in smart city applications.

Managing large volumes of data is increasingly crucial in a digital world. Splunk Edge Hub simplifies data ingestion by capturing sensor data from physical and edge environments to generate actionable data analytics and improve customer’s end-to-end visibility within Splunk Platform. Torizon’s ecosystem integrates with Splunk Edge Hub to keep systems updated and makes applications portable with Torizon OS.

Splunk

In the early stages of the project, Splunk struggled to find a mechanism to deploy updates reliably. Then, regarding its necessity for a reliable and stable system, Splunk^® met the Torizon Platform Services: beyond easy to use, it provides robust, secure, and remote updates to devices connected to the network.

Torizon™ solutions offered a cost-effective alternative for developing reliable and robust systems. With Torizon OS and Docker containers, our engineers could focus on application development instead of OS maintenance. This eliminated the need for spending time, money, and engineering resources on creating a new solution.

The Verdin iMX8M Plus is a robust SoM. The NXP^® i.MX 8M Plus SoC comes with up to four powerful, 64-bit Armv8 Cortex-A53 cores. The integrated neural network processing unit (NPU) was designed from the ground up to execute deep learning inference.
