T he Linux Foundation, along with 50 other companies, is all set to standardise the Internet of Things (IoT) with its EdgeX Foundry. The new project unifies the marketplace around a new common open framework and builds an ecosystem of companies with interoperable plug-and-play components. Security has been a major issue with all IoT projects. The Linux Foundation-backed EdgeX Foundry aims to secure the experience by standardizing the IoT edge computing model. The new move also eases the growing concern across the industry that IoT has been fragmented and suffers from slower growth due to the lack of a common framework. “EdgeX Foundry is aligning market leaders around a common framework, which will drive IoT adoption and enable businesses to focus on developing innovative use cases that impact the bottom line,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director, The Linux Foundation.
