ARM Peltion (IoT-platfoma)

2018: Support of x86-Intel processors

On October 15, 2018 it was announced cooperation of ARM and Intel within which Internet of Things is going to be made safer. Support of x86-Intel processors the ARM Pelion platform became one of points of partnership of the companies.

Thanks to the signed agreement ARM will be able to use the general standards developed by Intel for device management, connections and data in Internet of Things. The Pelion platform will rely on the Intel Secure Onboard specifications that will allow the clients using products of any of the companies in solutions for IoT to manage them in the same system.

Because Pelion can be used for management of x86 platforms of Intel now, time of a security setting will be reduced from 20 to 2 minutes, and the help of highly skilled IT specialists will not be required. The companies managing millions of IoT-devices should estimate it. The producers manufacturing IoT equipment,  in turn will be able to abstract from  specifics of use of their  products,  including from  the framework used by clients.

In the joint press release it is said that the usage agreement of standards of Intel for safety of management of IoT-networks signed by ARM marks break which can stimulate development of Internet of Things in many industries.

The ARM Peltion IoT-platform supports x86-Intel processors now. Internet of Things should become safer

The analyst of Gartner Bill Ray notes that by October, 2018 most the world's largest producers of IoT-chips, including NXP Semiconductors, Renesas Electronics and Atmel, use energy efficient ARM technologies whereas Intel dominates regarding development of processors for cloud data centers where IoT-data are analyzed and processed.

According to forecasts of ARM, in 20 years about 1 trillion IoT-devices will be started worldwide.^[1]
