Apigee's new Apigee Link offering enables device makers to connect to the Internet of things via REST APIs.
Apigee, an API platform provider, has announced Apigee Link, an API-first Internet of things (IoT) product for connecting devices to the Internet.
Apigee Link enables device makers to build IoT ecosystems via REST APIs that foster connectivity between devices and IoT sensors. In short, Apigee Link helps take the IoT beyond gadgets and enables any device maker to become a digital platform business, the company said.
Device makers face a number of challenges in building a digital platform business: reliably and securely connecting devices to the Internet with minimal latency; enabling partners and customers to orchestrate digital experiences that involve multiple devices; working with app developers; and collecting, analyzing and acting on data from sensors and actuators.
"APIs are a critical enabler for the Internet of things," Chet Kapoor, CEO of Apigee, said in a statement. "With Apigee Link, we are leveraging our core competency in APIs, data and protocol mediation to deliver a new Apigee product that securely links devices with the Internet and helps device makers build powerful IoT ecosystems. Apigee is already working with device makers and solution partners, and looks forward to working with many more to help them become platform businesses". For complete and original post see here
