I had the opportunity to speak with Rohit Goyal, Principal Product Marketing Manager, and Greg Smith, V.P. Product Marketing, at Nutanix about the Xi IoT rapid development environment for creating IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) apps in the cloud, which can be deployed in the cloud or at the edge. The environment is designed to alleviate friction faced by many enterprise organizations and their developers around generic cloud environments, creating complex AI models and generating meaningful IoT data.
Enterprise development teams are constantly searching for new ways to reduce friction with subpar IT systems and infrastructure. They often turn to the cloud to spin up resources. However, not all cloud resources were designed with the business logic required to solve the most immediate problems.
