Cisco and AWS collaborates on Integrating AWS IoT Core and Cisco Edge Intelligence

Cisco has announced that it would collaborate with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud on the integration between AWS Core and Cisco Edge intelligence software. The move will enhance seamless movement of data from the network’s edge to AWS. 
In a blog post released by Cisco, the company compared data to ‘new oil’ that required extraction, processing and delivery. The move is meant to reduce the cost of migrating all internet of things (IoT) data to the cloud.
The company is seeking to end barriers of converting edge data to insights. The integration makes it easier to extract, process, govern and deliver edge data to AWS. Using the same platform to transform data makes the process more consistent.
The end-to-end integration allows data to be secured on its transformation journey from the edge to the cloud. This is enhanced by the “numerous authentication and transport security protocols.”
Michael McKenzie, General Manager IoT Connectivity and Control for AWS, said: “Cisco has developed a simple end-to-end solution to collect data from the industrial edge and move it to AWS IoT Core at scale. Instead of spending time on custom integrations, CISCO Edge Intelligence with AWS IoT Core allows customers to move faster and focus on innovating in their core business.”
He revealed that: “AWS and Cisco customers are looking for ways to easily and securely connect devices to the cloud.”

This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...

Patents are crucial for inventions and provide a 20-year monopoly.  Start with a patent search to ensure novelty, then apply via KIPI's online portal. Costs range from KSh 3,000–50,000 depending on the type. Why...
