HowTo: Writing applications at the Edge with OSIsoft Edge Data Store
In the world of Industrial IoT, collecting and storing data close to the source is needed in order to increase end user value through the use of real time applications at the Edge. The OSIsoft Edge Data Store (DS) is a new storage technology that is used to provide real-time data storage at the Edge of networks. The Edge DS provides the necessary infrastructure to serve real time data to Edge applications and to end users while providing seamless data transfer into OSIsoft’s larger real-time systems such as the PI Server or OSIsoft Cloud Services. In this presentation, we’ll cover what the Edge DS is and how we envision customers will use it at the Edge of networks. We’ll show you how to use OSIsoft Open Message Format to create applications to send data into Edge DS, and then show you how you can create local user applications directly from data stored in Edge DS. Finally, we’ll show you how to use Edge DS to extend applications from the Edge to the Enterprise or the Cloud.
