Don't stress about the state of your fleet of edge computing devices or your edge system. Instead, depend on a reliable alert and notification system which tells you when your edge requires your attention, or if everything is good.

Citizens and innovators increasingly demand open data, that anyone can access, use and share, to better understand how the city pulses and improve policy decisions.  An effective, secure, non-intrusive and flexible way of providing open data is to leverage edge computing. Edge computing provides a way to deploy realtime services, that avoid data intrusion issues, while enabling an evolutive approach for the city. However, in order to scale and deliver its full innovation potential, edge computing and open data must form the integral part of a governance policy. This blog explores some of the aspects such a governance policy must address and how.

Edge computing, with its ability to process data near its source, delivers secure and future proof solutions, without a round trip to the cloud. In this blog post, we explore examples of how data coming from a variety of simple sensors can be combined to produce better and new smart city services.

This is the third blog post on Data Management with Nuvla.io.  Nuvla.io is an edge management platform as a service, designed to make it easy for you to manage, monitor, deploy and update your containerised apps and edge devices. In the previous two blog posts, we described the capabilities of Nuvla.io around Data Management and its connection to application provisioning, and then we introduced you to the data-object - Nuvla resource - that allows you to handle S3 objects without the need for an S3 client, or the need to share S3 credentials with the users of your data. Check back on those posts if you missed them: Data Management with Nuvla.io Part 1 Data Management with Nuvla.io Part 2  Now it's time to dive into another Nuvla.io resource) -  data-record - that turns Nuvla.io into a Metadata Catalogue for your diverse data sets.

This is the second blog post in the series on Data management with Nuvla.io. Nuvla.io is an edge management platform as a service, designed to make it easy for you to manage, monitor, deploy and update your containerised apps and edge devices. Here we will show you how easily you or your customers can manage any data on S3 (store, register, search and download) either on Cloud or Edge using Nuvla.io.

This is the first in a series of posts on Data management with Nuvla.io. Nuvla.io is an edge management platform as a service, designed to make it easy for you to manage, monitor, deploy and update your containerised apps and edge devices.

This basic guide to smart cities gives an introduction to one of today's hot topics. Why is everyone talking about smart cities? It is estimated that the world’s population will grow to nine billion by 2043 and ten billion by 2083. This population growth is likely to produce the biggest strain on urban areas, with 11% of the global population currently living in the world’s 101 larger cities - a figure which is expected to rise to 23% by the end of the century. City governors and industry leaders have to find ways to deal with this huge expansion. At the same time, the latest technological advances give us access to solutions and services which were previously unimaginable. Look at how the internet and smart phone have changed the way you live. To address the key challenges of population expansion and rapid urbanisation, cities are exploring these technological advancements, to find ways to increase efficiency and help tackle the issues that come with an increased population.

Edge Computing is one of the latest buzz expressions in the ICT world, along with IoT, big data and artificial intelligence. 

How do you choose between public and private cloud? What are the differences between them? What are the advantages of private cloud? How do I choose between public and private cloud? Let's have a look at the basics to help make the decision.

If AI were a rocket, the first stage would be the cloud, the second the edge, and data would be the fuel Strategic leaders investing in AI will need a complete rocket to boost business
