Hewlett Packard will sell EcoSteer energy management software as a component of its Internet of Things (IoT) Applications portfolio.

HP IoT Applications are supported by the HP IoT Platform, a unified framework that provides all the IT infrastructure and services needed to support applications in energy management, public mobility, street lighting and other aspects of urban life.

EcoSteer contributes its experience in dealing with the proprietary interfaces and complexity of different types of energy meters and sensors and the ability to process the large data streams these generate.

The partnership brings together a combination of specialist skills in monitoring large numbers of sensors, and making sense of data gathered from several sites, with the ability to roll out IoT on a large scale to support a variety of industrial sectors including telecommunications, retail and utilities.
