BOSTON, June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Data management in edge computing became easier today with the release of the c-treeEDGE IoT Database. This new solution from FairCom Corporation empowers organizations with the ability to store and process their data at or near the collection point, opening the door for mission-critical, and possibly, life-saving decisions to be made much faster without the need to rely solely on the cloud. The product launch announcement was made during LiveWorx® 2018, the world's most respected digital transformation conference and industrial marketplace for IoT, AR/VR, machine learning, blockchain, robotics and more - where the company also released the c-treeEDGE IoT Database Extension for ThingWorx® PTC's leading Industrial Internet of Things platform.
c-treeEDGE is a high-speed IoT database solution featuring unique technology that facilitates full-featured, high-performance data management while running on IoT and IIoT gateways and on the smallest edge devices. It has a very small footprint at 37 megabytes, but it is powerful enough to host data from thousands of sensors. c-treeEDGE IoT supports native MQTT communication, as well as Node-RED and REST API integration. It runs natively on multiple edge operating systems: Raspbian (Raspberry Pi), Windows IoT, Android, and Android Things. While also running on Windows 10 and Linux on x86 architecture for use in more powerful gateway systems, c-treeEDGE is ideal for use in manufacturing, healthcare, energy and transportation, as well as many other industries.
While c-treeEDGE is a new product, its core is powered by the same technology found in FairCom's flagship product, c-treeACE. In fact, this database technology has been embedded in medical devices and manufacturing sensors for IoT activities for many years -- long before the Internet of Things age arrived. Due to its flexibility, high performance and reliability, FairCom database technology has been trusted by more than 40 members of the Fortune 100 in recent years.
"As the Internet of Things continues to transform technology implementation, organizations will generate considerably more data on the edge, and they must decide if they can afford to send that data to the cloud or disregard it," said FairCom Director of Business Development Evaldo Oliveira. "The c-treeEDGE IoT Database gives organizations the power to manage their data on the edge where a few seconds, or even milliseconds, can mean the difference between successful operations or disaster. This robust, multimodel solution also sets the stage for a reduction of costs and resource allocation that is often associated with transmitting data to and from the cloud."
The new c-treeEDGE IoT Database Extension enables ThingWorx users to seamlessly integrate their c-treeEDGE database with their ThingWorx IoT platform development environment. PTC has validated FairCom's c-treeEDGE Extension as ThingWorx Ready, making it available to ThingWorx users on the PTC MarketplaceTM.
"The c-treeEDGE IoT Extension of ThingWorx provides users with the ability to experience fast, reliable database capabilities while utilizing one of the world's top IoT platforms," said Oliveira. "The Extension can be easily installed in order to add a 'thing' to the ThingWorx Composer and can be eventually installed on virtually any device in the user's IoT environment. The end result is efficient, powerful data management capabilities for ThingWorx users."
