About the C3 IoT AI Appliance Powered by Intel AI
The C3 IoT AI Appliance powered by Intel AI is available now for organizations requiring a private or hybrid cloud and edge computing footprint in multiple industries including financial services, mining, oil and gas, healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and the public sector.
The C3 IoT AI Appliance is designed to operate with the flexibility and scale of a dedicated private cloud on premise. It addresses an organization’s governance, compliance, and IT requirements while rapidly operationalizing predictive analytics, AI, and deep learning solutions – in weeks, not years – to solve complex problems such as real-time fraud detection, disease prediction, predictive maintenance, video and image analytics, and asset tracking.
The C3 IoT AI Appliance is optimized for organizations that cannot use public cloud applications due to privacy, security, or regulatory reasons, and for applications that do not require elastic cloud compute. The C3 IoT Platform can run seamlessly on premise or in the cloud, or as a hybrid environment for maximum operational flexibility.
