cohesionIB and ioTium Partner to Bring Greater Intelligence to Commercial Real Estate Worldwide
Companies to Showcase Powerful Combination of the cohesionIB Intelligent Building Platform and the ioTium's Network Infrastructure for Building Automation at Chicago Realcomm CIO Forum
CHICAGO, and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- cohesionIB, a cloud-based intelligent building software platform has selected ioTium, the first commercially deployed Software-Defined Converged Infrastructure company for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Together, the companies will leverage their shared expertise in building automation to bring greater intelligence to commercial real estate properties worldwide. ioTium and cohesionIB will showcase their joint work at this week's Realcomm CIO Forum. The event, sponsored by ioTium, will be held at 151 North Franklin in Chicago – a much celebrated commercial real estate property developed by The John Buck Company.
During the event, cohesionIB and ioTium will showcase the benefits of 24/7 secure remote access and a mobile interface to interact with all of the amenities and features of the building. Both companies have a shared understanding of the fact that while there are many "smart" components to modern buildings, most do not fully embrace the promise of the IIoT. While systems have the ability to communicate, they are frequently siloed and unable to connect in a way that will allow each building to respond to or anticipate changes. The result is a mix of systems difficult for the small IT teams, common to commercial properties, to manage.
"cohesionIB makes buildings a better place to be. Whether you're a tenant, the building operator, or the property owner, we're creating better experiential and economic outcomes through our cloud-based application," said Rick Szcodronski, CTO of cohesionIB. "We have partnered with ioTium to bring both speed and security to our building deployments. In a recent roll-out, ioTium's Software-Defined Converged Infrastructure solutions for IIoT enabled us to add 8,000 users to three different systems in under 20 minutes – something that would have taken us weeks in the past. That speed has been a quantifiable benefit to us without having to sacrifice security. ioTium provides our products a secure path to scalability."
Whether it's designing a new building in a highly competitive commercial real estate market or updating a half-century old property for the needs of modern tenants, cohesionIB and ioTium offer a unique joint solution to commercial property owners and operators. System updates can be made within minutes and new access and permissions can be granted in seconds. A unified dashboard allows small IT teams to keep a close eye on each building – or a number of buildings from a distance.
"Our partnership with cohesionIB continues our leadership in IIoT solutions for the building automation market," said Ron Victor, founder and CEO of ioTium. "ioTium understands the distinct IIoT needs of commercial real estate property owners better than anyone. Our unique Cloud-based Infrastructure solutions for IIoT are driving innovation with easily deployable technology for industrial markets where reliability and security are mission-critical."
The CIO RealComm Forum will be held October 18, 2018 at 151 North Franklin in Chicago. The invitation-only Forum is open to CIOs and other senior IT professionals in the commercial real estate development and related service industries.
