Solace today announced a new
Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions Partner program to accelerate the time to
value for enterprises implementing IoT initiatives. Solace will partner with
leading providers of IoT platforms, services and technologies to deliver
integrated, event-enabled solutions to some of the biggest challenges in IoT.
This includes connected vehicle and digital manufacturing in the automotive
sector, smart grid/metering for utilities and transportation and logistics
projects such as fleet management and positive train control.
"As IoT becomes mainstream,
organizations face the challenge of creating new business models that scale
while maintaining cost efficiencies. Solace believes industrial-grade event
distribution enables the robustness, flexibility and agility it takes to
achieve that goal," said Ricardo Gomez-Ulmke, Vice-President, IoT at Solace.
"That's why we're partnering with complementary technology and solution experts
to help enterprises quickly prove concepts and cost-effectively roll out IoT
solutions."
The Solace IoT Solution Program
will focus on solution partners in the following areas:
- Technology: Software providers who provide IoT-related
functionality such as device management, visualization and streaming
analytics, API management, and IoT security
- Platform: IoT platform providers who support global deployments
from tens of millions of concurrently connected devices, and very large
data/event volumes
- Services: Systems integrators who design and deliver custom IoT
solutions with the scalability it takes to successfully profit from
entering the IoT economy
Partners approved for the Solace
IoT Solutions program will be authorized to earn incentives associated with
lead referral, resale and OEM, and have benefits including Solace technical
skills, product and co-marketing. Full details can be found in the program
guide (solace.com/partners/IoT). Solace will work with partners to create
go-to-market plans that drive market awareness and open new IoT market
opportunities.
"F5 and Solace have partnered to
deliver leading IoT solutions for automotive and smart city initiatives. This
has resulted in the delivery of highly scalable, geographically distributed,
event enabled IoT solutions. F5 is excited to partner with Solace through the
IoT Solutions Partner Program to further reduce the time to value in IoT
projects spanning IoT edge devices, applications and IT systems across cloud,
on-premise and hybrid cloud environments," said Frank Strobel, Director, IoT
and Security Alliances with F5 Networks.
"Altair Panopticon streaming
analytics and Altair SmartWorks IoT solutions supports the continuous
optimization of IoT operations, and we're excited about working with Solace to
create pre-integrated solutions to common IoT challenges," said Piush Patel,
Senior VP HPC, Cloud, and Data Intelligence Partnerships at Altair. "Using
Panopticon to monitor and analyze real-time Solace streams and SmartWorks to
manage IoT projects makes it easy for business users and engineers to build,
deploy, and use their own custom streaming analytics solutions without writing
any code."
