Today, we are announcing the launch of Amazon Monitron Gateway (Ethernet) , a new gateway device that allows customers to use their ethernet network to connect Monitron to the internet. The ethernet gateway joins the Wi-Fi gateway that was launched in December 2020, giving customers even more options for Amazon Monitron internet connectivity. Amazon Monitron is an end-to-end  system that uses machine learning (ML) to detect abnormal conditions in industrial equipment, enabling you to implement predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned downtime. It includes sensors to capture vibration and temperature data from equipment, a gateway device to securely transfer data to AWS, the Amazon Monitron service that analyzes the data for abnormal equipment conditions using machine learning, and a companion mobile app to set up the devices and receive reports on operating behavior and alerts to potential failures in your equipment.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) expands functionality by adding support for migrating multiple databases in one task using MongoDB and Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) as a source. Using AWS DMS, you can now group multiple databases of a MongoDB cluster and migrate them using one DMS task to any AWS DMS supported targets including Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) with minimal downtime.

38 years ago a company was founded to make chips using ECL The company’s first product was a floating point coprocessor chip set and that was followed by a SPARC processor. It then made ATM devices and Ethernet switches. It lasted 13 years and was then sold to PMC-Sierra. Moral: Speed isn’t everything
