2019: Announcement of Windows Server IoT 2019
On February 26, 2019 Microsoft announced the Windows Server IoT 2019 operating system intended for the small and consuming a little energy devices of Internet of Things. The ZDNet edition calls the new product "Windows for robots".
Microsoft positions Windows Server IoT 2019 as "a binary equivalent" of Windows Server 2019 and addresses OS to developers who are familiar with the Windows Server development environments.
The Windows Server 2019 IoT-option is intended only for equipment manufacturers and the companies which are releasing products for retail, health care, production and other industries.
Five years the main and five years of expanded support of Microsoft extend to the operating system. The licensing model focused on devices which need longer support is provided.
IoT-solutions become harder and harder, require more computing powers, storages and connectivities. Windows Server IoT 2019 is designed to solve this problem.
Devices with limited functionality, working running Windows Server IoT 2019, will be able to process difficult workflows, like the analysis of several video flows and loading of results of processing on the local server or in a cloud. And they can do it with high degree of security, availability and controllability.
Thanks to full binary compatibility with Windows Server 2019 equipment manufacturers can create boundary IoT-devices of a server class which carry out the tasks connected with calculations, storage of Big Data and integration between boundary and cloud computing.
In 2018 Microsoft provided open Robot Operating System (ROS) which provides to developers the Visual Studio tools for creating applications for robots. However until the end of February, 2019 the company said a little about how it is going to come nearer to the industrial robot.
Along with the announcement of Windows Server IoT 2019 the software giant said that developers can create commercial ROS-applications on Windows to make devices on border of networks it is "more smart" thanks to Azure Cognitive Services.[1]
