Fremont, CA: Cloud computing was popular and well-established before the pandemic, but it has risen to prominence as a result of the forced transition to remote working. And it appears to be here to stay for the foreseeable future. Cloud technologies are shifting from linear evolution and to exponential growth.

Foundries.io, the leader in cloud-native development and deployment solutions for secure IoT and Edge devices, has entered into a partnership with Variscite to streamline the development, deployment, and management of secure IoT and Edge products on Variscite's System on Modules / Computer on Module on the basis of NXP Semiconductors' i.MX processors. Variscite has been the world's leading ARM-based SoM vendor for over 18 years, selling over 2 million devices per year and serving over 6,000 clients globally.

According to some estimates, the Industrial IoT industry will expand from $216 billion in 2018 to $1.1 trillion in 2028. This expansion necessitates a new approach to developing and managing Linux-based devices, one that prioritizes security and resource efficiency. FoundriesFactory addresses these issues with a cloud platform that makes creating, deploying, and maintaining secure IoT and Edge Linux-based devices easier and less expensive. It reduces time to market by speeding up the creation of product firmware, operating systems, and applications, as well as providing the capacity to monitor and update devices and fleets, ensuring their security throughout their product lifecycle.

"It's a natural move to extend our cloud-based DevOps platform for embedded IoT and Edge to Variscite's customers," stated George Grey, CEO of Foundries.io. "The nature of embedded development is changing, and FoundriesFactory delivers a common, easy way for developers to move quickly and to easily maintain devices for their entire lifetime from the cloud. We're excited to make this available to millions of developers around the world."
