Special Offer: Embedded Cloud Computing Starter Kits

By the end of October 2009 we offer with the DNP/SK29-ECC and the eSOM/EK1-ECC two ready-to-use Starter Kits starting at only EUR 199,-*. On both Starter Kits - beside the Debian-based embedded Linux operating system - an Amazon S3 cloud storage client is preinstalled.

In addition you receive a prepaid test account which is valid for 30 days incl. 25 MB traffic volume on an Amazon S3 storage server. Therewith you are able to make yourself familiar with the advantages of embedded cloud computing without any further costs.

* All prices without VAT and packaging. This offer is valid as long as stocks last. Delivery quantity reserved.

DNP/2486 and eSOM/2586: Java makes Independent

Java is among others because of its platform independence very popular in the IT-world (write once, run anywhere = WORA). This advantage can be also used with embedded systems. So the biggest part of complex embedded software can be coded completely hardware independant and is also reusable in future.

Klaus-Dieter Walter wrote a very detailed essay about this topic, which was published a few weeks before in the German trade magazine Elektronik.

Whitepaper about Embedded Cloud Computing

The successful operation of embedded systems under field conditions requires currently a very high proportion of own development achievement. By reason of the integration of cloud-based client functionality into the operating system of a 32-bit embedded system the time and costs for the development can be reduced distinctly.

In conclusion every single embedded system owns also an embedded infrastructure. So various tasks like e.g. condition monitoring or the VPN-based remote access for maintenance can be effectively managed without using own development resources.

Energy Monitoring in Functional Buildings with the MGW/920

In public buildings, hotels, administrations and department stores a lot of energy is wasted due to careless behavior. A detailed monitoring - the requirement for efficient energy saving measures - is normally not available.

The MGW/920 is right now available with preinstalled monitoring software, which is able to gather data via M-Bus from up to ten consumption meters. This consumption data can be viewed with a browser in a local database or - with help of a cloud service - on a monitoring server in the Web.
