Cisco and Toshiba join their technologies to create IoE developments for Smart Cities

The alliance signed with Cisco will help Toshiba advance the development of its 'Human Smart Community' vision, which will result in safer smart communities, healthy and comfortable.

Cisco y Toshiba have signed an alliance to collaborate in the development of new applications and solutions based on the Internet of Things capable of improving processes, increase productivity and optimize the user experience in the manufacturing industry, the logistics and transport sector, and in the field of smart cities.

Using Cisco networking and security solutions and Toshiba devices and services will help monitor and maintain multiple devices, process and send at high speed the information collected by them and install the storage technologies necessary to accumulate all that data.

With this alliance Toshiba seeks to increase the functionalities of its products and services in the field of energy, health and storage, and advance its vision of developing what it calls 'Human Smart Community', which will result in safer smart communities, healthy and comfortable.

According to Cisco, To bring to customers everything that IoT offers on paper, a new approach to infrastructure is necessary, where the availability of many distributed sensors with data processing capacity is critical.. In this sense, Cisco is promoting a new computing architecture called Frog Computing, where the network, computing and storage capacity are deployed from the cloud to a location as close as possible to connected devices.

The growth of the Internet of Things market (IoT) has accelerated in recent years and is increasingly present in a greater variety of organizations, both public and private.

The basis of its development is its ability to connect people, processes, data and things via the Internet and converting that information generated into intelligence that can be processed to improve decision making and planning processes, both in the business and personal spheres.
