Eurotech, a leading provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) platforms and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, announced the availability of the first code contribution for Eclipse Kapua, in collaboration with Red Hat, a leading provider of open source solutions. This open source project offers IoT developers and end users an open platform for end-to-end IoT implementations, helping them to avoid more costly, proprietary lock-in and accelerate community-driven collaboration.
Eclipse Kapua is a modular platform providing the services required to manage IoT gateways and smart edge devices. Kapua provides a core integration framework and an initial set of services for device registry, device management, message routing, data management, and application enablement.
By bridging operation technology with information technology, Eclipse Kapua acts as an IoT Integration Platform helping to address the main aspects of managing an IoT infrastructure, including connectivity, configuration, and embedded application life cycle. The platform also allows to aggregate real-time data streams from the edge, archive them, or route them towards enterprise IT systems and applications.
When combined with Eclipse Kura, a popular Java/OSGi-based IoT gateway middleware, Kapua offers a solid integrated IoT foundation and a true open source end-to-end solution for IoT applications from the edge gateway to the world of IT.
