By DE Editors

MicroStrain has announced the release of SensorCloud a sensor data storage, visualization, and remote management platform that leverages powerful cloud computing technologies to provide data scalability, rapid graphing, and user programmable online analytics. Originally designed to support long-term deployments of MicroStrain wireless sensors, the company says SensorCloud now supports any web-connected third party device, sensor, or sensor network through a simple OpenData API.    

Core SensorCloud features include:

• Datain the Cloud
• OpenDataAPI
• FastGraph,a time series visualization and graphing tool, allows viewers to navigatethrough massive amounts of data and zero in on points of interest
• CustomAlerts via SMS and email
• LiveConnect,which allows remote configuration, viewing, and high speed data streamsfrom wireless sensor clusters on an Ethernet network in real-time
• MathEngine,which enables users to develop and deploy data processing and analysisapps that live alongside their data in the cloud

“We have now expanded our offerings from sensors and sensor networks to information management and analysis, and have implemented SensorCloud to provide sensor information when, where and how our customers require it,” says Steve Arms, CEO of MicroStrain.

MicroStrain’s SensorCloud leverages several cloud computing technologies to make it easier to work with large data sets, according to the company, using a web data visualization tool that typically generates plots in under a second, and allows users to navigate through gigabyte, terabyte, and even petabyte sized data sets.
