Notable customers include Honeywell, Demeter Power Group, and Arrow Electronics.<\/p>\n<p>Since their launch in 2011, 2lemetry has raised $9 million, including <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/2lemetry-secures-4-million-funding-160835805.html\" target=\"_blank\">$4 million in funding from Salesforce<\/a> this January.<\/p>\n<p>From our POV, the acquisition looks like an effort to build an IoT strategy, and could help Amazon build an early advantage over their major cloud competitors Microsoft and Google. Amazon may be interested in using 2lemetry&#8217;s services to build out for their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/kinesis\/\" target=\"_blank\">AWS Kinesis<\/a>\u00a0service for connected devices. Kinesis a cloud-based service that allows real-time processing of large, distributed data sources. According to AWS, Kinesis can capture and store terabytes of data per hour from hundreds of thousands of sources, which, combined with 2lemetry&#8217;s services, would make it ideal for capturing the massive amounts of data generated by large networks of connected devices.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement on their\u00a0website, a 2lemetry representative wrote: &#8220;our existing service has not changed, and with Amazon we will offer our same customer support. We still have the same name and branding as before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon.com acquired 2lemetry, an Internet of Things (IoT) startup, for an undisclosed price earlier this week.
