AAEON Products Receive Recognition for their Compliance with Intel® Intelligent Systems Framework


Taipei, Taiwan – AAEON, a leading developer of computing solutions for factory automation, transportation, medical industries to name a few, is pleased to announce that it has been recognized for its products' compliance with Intel's® Intelligent Systems Framework (ISF). ISF is a standard for computing components introduced to create a set of inter-operable solutions designed to address connecting, managing, and securing devices and data in a consistent and scalable manner. It is able to reduce fragmentation by scaling across applications and bring together operating systems, tools and hardware in one ecosystem.



ISF grew from a need to solve the problem of fragmentation among complex embedded systems.  A company may have a Point-of-Sale system, surveillance camera system and digital signage system, each collecting data using their own unique platforms, which makes connecting them to a cloud problematic. For companies with a network of locations comprised of incompatible systems launched at different points in time, seamless integration can be a daunting endeavor.  According to Intel®, the ISF creates a set of interoperable solutions that can scale across applications and bring together the hardware, OSs and software that enable these devices to be remotely managed and provide useful analytics on the data that is being collected by these systems.  



This framework consists of profiles assigned to devices that outline a set of constituents for integration, with Intel® providing a level of integration testing and validation to ensure that components can interoperate, as expected. If the components pass these tests, they then can be designated as ISF ready under the assigned profile.



This new approach has the potential to lower deployment costs, simplify integration and enable new and innovative services. The resultant effects on vertical markets will be that Machine (M2M), Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data become more manageable for system operators and developers. Intel® is working with system integrators and vendors such as AAEON along with software developers (ISVs) to create Cloud-to-Device services that use the ISF as its foundation based on a flexible combination of the following elements:

• Remote manageability capabilities that support iAMT™ as well as third-party management consoles

• Processor platforms (including Intel® Atom™, Intel® Core™ and Intel® Xeon® ) and related technologies such as Intel® vPro™ and Intel® TXT™, as well as a range of I/O for flexible communications

• OSs including Microsoft® Windows®, WindRiver® Products and Linux

• Security including McAfee® Embedded Control™ and McAfee® Deep Defender™



Get the Edge with AAEON

As an Associate member of the Intel® Intelligent Systems Alliance, AAEON has already developed several high performance systems that are in full compliance with ISF requirements. These devices can work in tandem utilizing a shared data stream to optimize productivity, identify bottlenecks, predict maintenance needs, and even allow for system-wide remote diagnostics. AAEON's support for this dynamic information ecosystem across its product lines provides solutions to system integrators and end users in nearly all categories of the IPC marketplace. There are immediate and lasting advantages for applications using AAEON's embedded ISF certified computing system technologies. AAEON's solutions allow system designers to reduce the time spent in analyzing and verifying operations and connections when devices are added to a network or when implementing new computing systems for control, monitoring, facilitating or securing their business operations.



AAEON's Intel® Intelligent Systems Framework readiness can be exemplified by these selected products, which offer a full spectrum of system wide connectivity and ease of integration. The FWS-7810 for instance, is a 1U Network Appliance featuring Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v3 Series Processor with the Intel® C226 Chipset. The FSW-7810 has been validated by Intel® as being compliant with Intelligent Systems Framework 1.05 Gateway Profile requirements, and will be listed on the Intelligent Solutions Alliance (ISA) Solutions directory as "Intelligent Systems Framework Ready". In addition, AAEON has released several other ISF Client approved boards including the COM-QM87, a Type 6 COM Express CPU module with its 4th Generation Intel® Core™ processor and mobile Intel® QM87 Express chipset, offering low-power and enhanced graphics power over the previous COM Express CPU modules, the 3.5" GENE-QM87 fully functional single board computer, the IMBA-Q87A ATX industrial motherboard also powered by a 4th Generation Intel® Core™ CPU, and the EMB-QM87A Mini-ITX form factor board with a 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor. These new ISF certified boards feature Intel® vPro™ technology, which delivers unprecedented hardware support for vital security and management functions. For the Edge Profile, AAEON offers the ISF-ready GENE-TC05, an industrial temperature single board computer powered by an Intel® E620T to E680T processor.



For AAEON, these embedded ISF ready products represent the continued effort towards creating solution-centered products based on Intel® architecture that can be used as modular building blocks in a highly integrated and interoperable real-time computing environment across a broad range of its client's applications. Being ISF-ready will streamline deployment and reduce time to market for integrated computing platforms and peripherals and help our customers turn data into knowledge and knowledge into opportunity.
