- Red Hat, ABB team to boost containers at the edge
- Edge servers upgrade to Raspberry Pi 4S compute module
Version 3.50 of edgeConnector Siemens, edgeConnector 804D and edgeConnector Modbus is now compatible with the 64bit version of ARM and extends the application possibilities to devices like Raspberry Pi, Cisco IR1101, Orange Pi 5 or RevPi Connect.
The Docker software container technology allows the edgeConnector products to be quickly made ready for use. They are operated on standard hardware and can be easily administered centrally. This gives users a simple and secure way to integrate data from production into innovative and flexible Industrial IoT solutions.
All edgeConnector products support security standards such as SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, authentication, and data encryption and can be easily configured locally via an integrated web interface or managed remotely via a REST API.
The individual edgeConnector products are available for download and free trial from online directories such as Docker Hub or Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
