To turn edge data into insight for real-time action, it must be processed close to its source to avoid the latency, bandwidth, and cost issues of sending the data to a remote data centre. However, this opportunity comes with a set of unique challenges, including management of remote infrastructure, and the need to seamlessly connect sensors and industrial assets with IT applications at the edge.
New software, technology and services for HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems – an industry-first infrastructure category that converges OT and enterprise-grade IT in a single system – simplify and accelerate that task. Based on an open platform, the new solutions include:
- HPE Edgeline OT Link Platform, an open platform that automates the interplay between diverse operational technologies (OT) and standard-IT based applications at the edge to enable intelligent and autonomous decision making;
- HPE Edgeline systems management, the industry’s first systems management solutions designed specifically for the edge to ensure enterprise-grade reliability, connectivity and security;
- HPE Edgeline EL300 Converged Edge System featuring OT link and HPE Edgeline systems management, providing resilience in edge environments for industrial deployments; and
- HPE Edgeline Field Application Engineering Services, which are available from HPE Pointnext to help customers plan, build, and customise OT link-based Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical systems.
“Deploying IoT, edge, and cyber-physical systems is a challenge requiring a fresh look at uniting the physical and digital worlds,” said Dr Tom Bradicich, VP and GM, Converged Servers, Edge and IoT Systems, HPE.
“With today’s announcements, we enable our customers to accelerate the delivery of applications that capitalise on edge data, safeguarded by enterprise-class management. And we lay the groundwork for a new ecosystem of intelligent edge solutions to drive innovation and growth across industries.”
Today, setting up an IoT or cyber-physical system is laborious. It requires custom coding to orchestrate OT networks, control systems, and data flows with drivers, middleware, and applications running on IT systems. HPE Edgeline OT Link Platform is an open platform that significantly simplifies this process. The solution includes:
- HPE Edgeline OT Link Platform software, an open workflow engine and application catalogue, allowing customers to orchestrate components, data, and applications via a graphical drag-and-drop user interface. The HPE Edgeline OT Link Platform integrates an ecosystem of third-party applications running from edge to cloud – including AWS, Google, Microsoft, and SAP, among others – to make insights from the edge available across the enterprise and supply chain;

- HPE Edgeline OT Link certified modules, HPE-developed adapters that connect to a broad range of OT systems, enabling bidirectional, time-sensitive, and deterministic control and communication, including high-speed digital input/output, controller area network (CAN) bus, Modbus, or Profinet.
APIs and software development kits (SDKs) for these adapters are made available to the industry to facilitate third-party designs of OT link modules. OT link will also integrate field-programmable gate array (FPGA) modules to give customers maximal flexibility to connect to any industrial input/output device.
“We’re excited about the potential of HPE Edgeline OT Link Platform to provide a powerful OT-ready physical platform for advanced OT applications such as Keysight’s PathWave Analytics,” said Christopher Cain, VP and GM of Keysight Technologies’ Electronic Industrial Products.
“Enabling secure IoT devices and effective wireless communications, validated to the latest standards by Keysight’s 5G and IoT test suites, is critical to ensuring the optimal performance for our customer’s IoT solutions. When integrated with HPE’s Edgeline systems, this delivers a potent combination for high-volume measurement processing and real-time local control, while maintaining the highest quality of service.”
HPE also announced the industry’s first systems management solutions specifically designed to simplify the provisioning and management of edge infrastructure and applications, providing enterprise-grade manageability and security for remote systems with limited connectivity and IT expertise.

HPE Edgeline Integrated System Manager is embedded into HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems and features one-click provisioning, ongoing system health management, remote updates, and management even with intermittent wired and wireless connections. It also supports advanced security functions like preventing system boot file changes and remote system disablement during a security event. HPE Edgeline Infrastructure Manager software can remotely manage thousands of Edgeline Converged Edge Systems. The HPE Edgeline Workload Orchestrator hosts a central repository for containerised analytics, AI, business, and IoT applications that can be pushed to HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems at the edge
The HPE Edgeline EL300 Converged Edge System offers OT link and HPE Edgeline systems management. It supports multiple wired and wireless industrial connectivity options. The HPE Edgeline EL300 is a fan-less, low-energy system equipped with Intel Core i5 processors, up to 32 GB of memory and 3 TB of storage. It will also support Intel Movidius Myriad X vision processing units to enable video analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) inference at the edge.
