DH2i, a
leading provider of multi-platform Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) and Smart
Availability software, today announced the launch of DxOdyssey for IoT.
The new edge-optimized Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) solution, ensures
end-to-end Zero Trust IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity, for the highest
possible levels of security for IoT data, communications, and operations.
McKinsey advised that edge computing would
represent a potential value of $175
billion - $215 billion in hardware by 2025. And, according to Verified Market Research, the
Global IoT market size was valued at $212.1 billion in 2018 and is expected to
grow 25.68 percent between 2019-2026 and reach $1,319.08
billion by 2026.
"For IoT, edge computing has
proven itself invaluable in its ability to overcome a multitude of IT issues,
thereby enabling organizations to make faster, more efficient and effective use
of the volumes of data generated from IoT devices," said Tom Smith,
Analyst, Insights
From Analytics. "Unfortunately, one issue that edge
computing has not been able to solve for IoT is security. In fact, in most
cases, edge computing can actually introduce even greater security risk, if not
managed properly."
DH2i's new DxOdyssey for IoT
was designed specifically for medium and large organizations architecting IoT
deployments, that need secure and discreet network connectivity between the
edge devices, datacenter, and cloud. DxOdyssey for IoT answers their call for a
single cost-effective network connectivity solution that scales from edge
devices to the largest datacenter servers and cloud platforms and is simple to
configure and manage. Offered via a small-footprint container (< 250mb),
DxOdyssey for IoT enables organizations to build and manage secure, dynamic
end-to-end data tunnels between edge device services, datacenter, and cloud
hubs, creating a Zero Trust network architecture that virtually eliminates any
attack surface.
"DxOdyssey for IoT enables organizations to build secure,
dynamic workload-centric connections between edge devices, datacenter, and
cloud environments at the highest ROI - all while eliminating network attack
surfaces," said Don Boxley, CEO and Co-Founder, DH2i. "For the first
time, organizations will be freed from traditional IoT connectivity solutions
that use VPNs, SD-WANs or open ports which require in-depth networking
knowledge, are expensive and tedious to configure, and create large and
dangerous attack surfaces."
"Microsoft Azure SQL Edge brings the most secure
Microsoft SQL data engine to IoT gateways and edge devices, supporting built-in
data streaming, storage, and AI in connected, semi-connected or disconnected
environments. Built on the same codebase as Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL,
Azure SQL Edge provides the same familiar developer experience, and tooling
that customers already know and trust," said John "JG" Chirapurath, Vice
President, Azure AI, Data and Edge at Microsoft Corp. "When combining the native
on-device capabilities of Azure SQL Edge with the dynamic tunneling technology
of DH2i's DxOdyssey for IoT, users are provided with the optimal end-to-end
data security solution for all IoT deployments."
