HP Enterprise Joins Internet of Things Platform Wars
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. is joining a crowded race to help companies get a leg up on one of tech’s hottest trends, the Internet of Things.
The company on Tuesday introduced what it calls the HPE Universal IoT Platform, software designed to help manage many kinds of network-connected devices and collect and analyze the data they generate.
It isn’t exactly an original idea. Companies including Amazon.com Inc., General Electric Co., International Business Machines Corp., Microsoft Corp., Cisco Systems and Salesforce.com Inc. have their own offerings for the Internet of Things that they call platforms.
