Cisco Edge Intelligence API

Cisco Edge Intelligence, Release 2.0 marks a significant evolution from its cloud-managed predecessor. While maintaining the same end-to-end data management functionality using defined pipelines, the solution eliminates dependencies on the IoT Operations Dashboard EI Cloud application platform.

Cisco Edge Intelligence, Release 2.0 presents a single, continuous workflow for local pipeline configuration. Pipeline configuration involves identifying data sources and destinations, and defining the data rules and logic that determine how the collected data is processed, transformed, and delivered.

Cisco Edge Intelligence enables organizations to fully control their data by extracting, transforming, governing, and delivering it. At each stage of data collection, Cisco Edge Intelligence simplifies processes, making expansion easy. For instance, it drastically reduces the time that is needed to develop and deploy applications that process data at the edge, streamlining what often involves labor-intensive tasks.

Cisco Edge Intelligence also provides the flexibility to integrate with multiple applications in multiple clouds. Cisco Edge Intelligence offers native integrations that simplify the entire process for Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and other MQTT applications.

Cisco Edge Intelligence API is a RESTful API that uses standard HTTP methods and response codes to securely deploy and manage industrial data pipelines. It enables integration with third-party systems, allowing you to efficiently manage pipelines with authentication at scale.
