HPE Launches IoT Platform

Hewlett-Packard Enterprise has unveiled its Universal Internet of Things (IoT) Platform, a unified solution for the enablement and management of heterogeneous sets of apps, sensors, and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices. HPE says the platform will allow providers and enterprises to add new functionality and benefits as use of IoT grows. It can be deployed on premises or in a private cloud environment and offered on an as-a-service model by service providers.
