Offers opportunities for device monitoring and communication

Canonical has recently introduced a new Internet of Things (IoT) platform that uses the Ubuntu Snappy technology to power the connected enterprise, as well as to bind data, processes, devices, and people together, thus remodeling raw data into real-time actionable intelligence.

Ubuntu Core is being known for allowing anyone to more easily and securely deploy applications to an unlimited number of devices. The 2lemetry ThingFabric IoT platform uses Ubuntu Snappy to provide a place for all these devices to connect to, in order for them to receive and transmit data.

The 2lemetry technology company is here to provide customers with a scalable and secure cloud platform for all of their devices. The company wrote a sample Snappy app in the Python programming language that connects to the 2lemetry platform via MQTT, a machine-to-machine IoT connectivity protocol, using an open-source MQTT client.

“Using the combination of Ubuntu and 2lemetry is a great option for business people wanting to quickly launch a functional solution. Ubuntu has streamlined the process for app deployment and because it easily works with 2lemetry’s ThingFabric IoT platform, companies have nearly limitless opportunities for device communication and monitoring.”

In the 1-minute-long video below, we see Mark Mulrooney, senior embedded engineer at 2lemetry, explaining for us how the 2lemetry IoT platform uses the Ubuntu Snappy technology to power the connected enterprise. Watch it, you might be interested in this new Ubuntu-powered technology.
