After what seems like an eternity at Sun and Oracle I have decided to pursue a new opportunity … I recently joined Electric Imp.
Electric Imp solves the challenges of the last mile of IoT solutions by providing a secure, connected, and programmable edge device platform, industrial-grade connectivity, and ease of integration into enterprise applications. Electric Imp is already deployed across a wide range of customers and industries.
In fact, just today Electric Imp announced a private cloud offering for commercial and industrial markets as well as being a strategic IoT connectivity partner for Pitney Bowes.
So I’ll definitely be staying in the embedded/IoT space – exciting times ahead. More to come … stay tuned.

Update:
- 10/9/14: See also the JavaOne interview with Dimitar Valtchev, CTO of ProSyst
Last week at JavaOne, ProSyst announced a Scalable Device Management Solution System for Java ME devices, see here for the press release.
Using the ProSyst mPRM backend and cloud remote device management solution allows customers to remotely monitor and manage gateways and end devices, based on both Java SE and Java ME, from a single management domain using a range of device management operations and protocols.
mPRM has been shown to scale to more than 4,000,000 online devices in simulated operations on Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud systems, and is in commercial use at a number of large service providers.
Another good reason to consider Java Embedded for your next IoT solution.

About 18 months ago we embarked on an ambitious journey to deliver a major update of the Java ME platform standard by filing JSR 360 (CLDC 8) and JSR 361 (MEEP 8) in the JCP (“JSR 360 and JSR 361: A Big Leap for Java ME 8”).
Both JSR 360 and JSR 361 were unanimously approved this week, with 25 YES votes each. Java ME 8 is now a reality, bringing the power of Java 8 to small embedded. Stay tuned for more announcements soon.
In the meantime, for be sure to check out my webcast “Introduction to Java ME 8” or the ”Java ME 8 Deep Dive” presentation.

A host of new content was released with the recent Java 8 launch and the YouTube Java channel features a number of interesting videos and interviews. For example:
“Building Block for the Internet of Things”, Nandini Ramani, VP of Java Product Development, Oracle
Get a new perspective on how enterprises may generate value from IoT and what it takes to make IoT work. Learn about key building blocks for IoT solutions. Get an overview of how Oracle’s products, including Java, enable end-to-end IoT deployments.
“Turning Devices into a Value-Generating Application Platform with Java”, Axel Hansmann, VP Strategy and Marketing Communication M2M, Gemalto
Learn about Gemalto’s vision for the future of IoT, strategy using Java, and adoption plans for Java ME 8. Find out more about Gemalto’s technologies and how they are used, from quick IoT/M2M prototyping to full-scale enterprise solutions.
I’ll be pointing out more interesting videos and content over the next couple of weeks.
