Cloudera, today announced that Zebra Technologies has implemented a Clouderapowered enterprise data hub running in the cloud as the foundation for their Asset Visibility Platform (AVP). Zebra provides tracking technology and solutions that provide real-time visibility into enterprise assets - including everything from physical assets and products to people - providing operational data on an item’s location as well as its condition.
Zebra recently announced Asset Visibility Service (AVS), a new IoT visibility offering enabled by Hadoop technology. Built on a Cloudera enterprise data hub, AVS gathers data from mobile computers and printers offering insight into device health, utilisation and availability in customer environments.
According to Tony Cecchin, Vice President of Zebra’s Services portfolio, “AVS provides insights that proactively address and prevent services issues - demonstrating Zebra’s leadership in Internet of Things (IoT) innovation.”
Meanwhile, Charles Zedlewski, Vice President, Products at Cloudera said, “AVS is exactly the type of high value data solution we’ve built Cloudera Enterprise to enable.” He then noted, “Cloudera Enterprise, at the foundation of Zebra’s enterprise data hub, offers a robust suite of tools to deliver on the promise that directly addresses enterprise security, governance and manageability requirements. It enables Zebra to not only bring in data from these remote assets, but also combine and correlate that with other data sources both within and outside of the organization to drive compelling business insights.”
AVS delivers at-a-glance dashboards to show utilisation, performance, and availability of business critical assets. In addition, AVS leverages advanced predictive analytics to provide suggestions so customers and partners can boost operational performance. The platform is capable of channelling these features for millions of devices generating petabytes of data, and can be supervised between different cloud providers, depending on Zebra customers’ needs.
