The document presents an overview of Cisco's IOx technology, which enables fog computing applications to operate at the network edge alongside IOS. It highlights the benefits of real-time data handling for IoT devices and provides a platform for developers to create applications using familiar programming languages. Key features include an app enablement platform, testing tools, and the ability to run custom operating systems.

IOx Introduction
Workshop Cisco DevNet Hackathon

2. Overview
• Cisco IOx
• IOx allows fog computing applications to run at the network edge
Run a Guest Operating System on a hypervisor alonogside IOS
Can run DMo as a middleware
• The Fog is the Cloud close to the ground
IOx enables faster, distributed handling of datato and from IoT
devices
Required for device management that demand real-time speed / no-
latency
• This is a tool for enabling IoT in the Fog

3. IoT applications with IOx and Fog

4. IOx Architecture

5. How it works?

6. IOx App Enablement Platform

7. What about developers?
• Can write applications for Cisco devices in well known, familiar and portable
languages
• “Cloud style” application development experience
• Target device software, hardware and networking intricacies are abstracted
• SDK and tools
• Quickly and iteratively develop applications
• Test and troubleshoot in the development environment
• Test and troubleshoot on the target device
• Publish the application for wider consumption
• Uniform execution context for the applications irrespective of the target device

8. Examples and Use Cases

9. • Using EIoT
Use Python and do sensing / computation at the edge (data aggregation, access and
system control)
• Custom Guest OS
Custom, compiled Linux Operating systems and code can be run
Examples

10. Use cases using DMo
