Talk #1: Cross Section of Predix

In this session, we will review the elements of Predix, a prime candidate to become the platform of choice for the industrial internet & IoT.

Can it really solve the hard problems that exist in the physical world and separate the minds and machines?

Are there any bottlenecks which may prevent Predix from conceiving, delivering and scaling some of the most important industrial advances of the next 10-20 years?

1. What is Predix, really?

2. What does Predix bring to the table? 3. How is Predix different from vanilla Cloud Foundry? How is it different from IBM BlueMix?

3. Predix Service Catalog. Which services can set Predix apart?

4. Top use cases & applications of Predix professionals.

5. Likely scenarios for evolution of Predix.

6. What is possible - the new world ahead - places you've never been before where Predix may take you today and tomorrow.
