Enable high-performance distributed intelligence for Industrial Internet of Things networks with Cisco® IOx and Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers.
Product overview
The Cisco Compute Modules for the Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers (CGR1000) bring fog computing for distributed intelligence to operational networks for industrial Internet of Things (IoT) markets such as utilities, manufacturing, and smart cities. Distributed intelligence enables IoT applications to scale with the ability to perform functions such as application protocol translation, data filtering, complex event processing logic, and local low-latency control decisions, intrusion detection at the edge of the network, where the sensor data is generated. These ruggedized servers support the Cisco IOx application environment and are built as field-replaceable modules for the CGR1000 Series. (See Figure 1.)
Product Summary
The CGR1000 Series Compute Modules use a high-performance, power-efficient AMD 800MHz four-core x86 processor. The modules support two USB2.0 interfaces and an external 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet interface. There are two Cisco compute modules models:
● CGM-SRV-64 with 50 GB bulk storage available with pluggable mSATA drive for IOx and applications
● CGM-SRV-128 with 100 GB bulk storage available with pluggable mSATA drive for IOx and applications
By providing expanded computing and storage resources, the compute modules for CGR1000 series not only support IOx fog computing, they also support VM images (Windows7, Windows10, Ubuntu Linux 14.04LTS minimum, etc) hosting.
Cisco IOx
The Cisco® IOx application environment combines IoT application execution within the fog, secure connectivity with Cisco IOS® Software, and powerful services for rapid, reliable integration with Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and the cloud. By bringing application execution capability to the source of IoT data, customers overcome challenges with high volumes of data and the need for automated, near–real time system responsiveness. Cisco IOx offers consistent management and hosting across network infrastructure products, including Cisco routers, switches, and compute modules. Cisco IOx allows application developers to work in the familiar Linux application environment with their choice of languages and programming models with familiar open-source development tools. (See Figure 2 for Major components of Cisco IOx application environment.)
Cisco IOx components
● Cisco IOx: Cisco IOx provides uniform and consistent hosting capabilities for fog applications across Cisco IoT network infrastructure. The application environment brings together Cisco IOS Software, the industry-leading networking operating system, and Linux, the leading open-source platform. With Cisco IOx, your developers benefit from familiar processes and open-source tools prevalent with Linux while generating applications that execute on Cisco IoT network infrastructure.
● Fog Director: Cisco Fog Director allows administrators to manage, administer, monitor, and troubleshoot fog applications running in the Cisco IOx environment remotely over the network.
● SDK and development tools: Cisco IOx SDK is a collection of tools and methodology guidelines to help developers package their applications for execution on IOx-enabled network infrastructure products.
For key benefits of IOx as well as more detail for this platform, please refer IOx datasheet (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/iox/datasheet-c78-736767.html).
