The group argues that the IoT needs such a technology due to the fatal security flaws that plague the IoT – and it’s hard to disagree with that assessment. Whether or not prpl’s becomes the standard, there are going to be millions of devices that will require a hypervisor or containerization engine to manage the software and applications that need to run at the network edge. prpl, the group that backs the MIPS processor technology that is pushed in the market by Imagination Technologies, will likely advocate the use…
