Nubix
Nubix
Nubix is a container platform that makes it easy to develop and deploy IoT and edge applications. Nubix runs on the tiniest microprocessors, enabling developers to easily process data on the sensor device where the data is created. Traditionally, updates to microcontroller devices have required replacing an entire firmware, a risky process that sometimes "bricks" devices. Nubix eliminates that risk with tiny containers, whose code is independent from the operating system reducing risk and speeding up release processes. Common edge architectures aren't really edge at all, instead forcing developers to transport data to the cloud or gateways for processing. Nubix's edge-native architecture enables processing of the data on the devices where data is created, eliminating the latency and overhead associated with networking and remote processing. And, Nubix is built on open source technologies so you are not locked into proprietary vendor languages and libraries. -
