Snappy Ubuntu is Powering New Internet of Things Efforts


Quote:
Canonical is collaborating with some very big technology brands, including GE, Acer, Microsoft and DataArt, to enable many new and innovative Internet of Things (IoT) devices. They're all built on ‘Snappy’ Ubuntu Core, the minimalist revision of Ubuntu that we covered here.

At IoT World this year, taking place in San Francisco this week, Canonical, GE, Acer, Microsoft and DataArt are making several announcements. They are showing next-generation connected devices for the home and many new Snappy Ubuntu Core concepts.

Canonical and Microsoft are working with DataArt on an IoT industrial predictive maintenance solution. It unifies the three companies' IoT, cloud, big data, machine learning, and Docker initiatives.
Meanwhile, GE has developed the first commercially available IoT-enabled fridge freezer - ChillHub - based on Snappy Ubuntu Core. Now available to consumers online, GE’s Chillhub allows personalization of the appliance and connectivity with a host of household appliances and systems.

ChillHub is actually an open development platform designed for makers, hackers, tinkerers and developers. Through rapid design iteration by 3D printing on MakerBot and other 3D printers, community members collaborate on products and features to customize and create new uses for their refrigerators. ChillHub, an 18-cubic foot Top Freezer Refrigerator, will retail for $999 and can be ordered through FirstBuild.com. Limited pre-orders will be available at an early-bird price of $799.

Have any LQ members tried out the Snappy version of Ubuntu?
