<p>SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --Aeris Communications, the Made for Machines(TM) technology and service provider, today announced the launch of AerCloud, a next-generation M2M Application Enablement Platform (AEP) that provides data management and analytics functionality for M2M applications. With the addition of AerCloud, Aeris extends its award-winning product line, now offering the most complete solution for M2M service enablement, spanning the entire stack - from network to application.</p><p>Historically, connected devices stream data directly from a network through to the application, which must process, store and manage the data, all while providing for application security, scalability, and flexibility. The traditional approach results in an elongated development cycle and increased costs as application developers must continually "reinvent the wheel" by focusing on baseline application infrastructure rather than on higher-level business logic. Furthermore, most developers are not familiar with the unique nature of connected device traffic patterns, so the underlying application architecture is often deficient in providing key mechanisms for application reliability and robustness.</p><p>AerCloud provides a critical abstraction layer between connected devices and applications, such that neither communicates directly with each other, but rather through AerCloud. Its unique data-centric architecture makes it simple for application developers to collect and store data, mine the data for critical business insights, and securely publish the data to applications and 3rd parties. M2M application developers can leverage proven and hardened data management components and standardized APIs, resulting in a significant reduction in application development time and cost by up to 10x, all while providing increased scalability, reliability, and flexibility.</p><p>Delivered as a cloud service, AerCloud has been designed with the same mission-critical reliability that powers all Aeris products, offering advanced failover capabilities, including geographic redundancy, to ensure seamless service in case of any unexpected event. AerCloud can be used with any M2M connected device and communication technology, but delivers unique benefits when paired with Aeris' M2M network service.</p><p><a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/aeris-communications-launches-aercloud-to-create-and-deliver-advanced-m2m-solutions-2013-09-17">Keep reading...</a></p>
