EBV Elektronikan Avnet company, has announced its full support for Arm in its efforts to bring a cloud-native experience to the edge through Project Cassini, an initiative that relies on the creation of a comprehensive standardised framework, as well as the use of advanced architecture-independent security APIs and cloud-native stacks applicable to various Arm-based hardware platforms.
"Arm's Cassini project will enable the simplification of edge application software development by establishing robust standards and providing cloud-native software stacks that will result in unprecedented interoperability, across a wide spectrum of diverse hardware systems," said Antonio Fernandez, Vice President Technical Development at EBV Elektronik. "Edge processing will be an essential element of large-scale IoT deployment, but significant security and technology fragmentation challenges must be overcome."
EBV, together with its Avnet subsidiaries (Avnet Embedded and Witekio), has contributed to this initiative and will assist customers wishing to integrate the Cassini Project technology into their products through the foundation of a centre of excellence that will make the whole compliance process much easier.
It is already clear that deploying computing resources at the edge, rather than in centralised data centres, will be of enormous value in the future. By having these resources close to applications, it will be possible to achieve low-latency responsiveness and avoid network congestion. However, hardware diversity is a major obstacle, especially when it comes to making all systems interact effectively. It is therefore necessary to find a way to successfully manage large-scale edge computing resources distributed across various platforms, so that potential fragmentation problems do not arise. This must be done while maintaining the highest levels of security.
