The history behind the
Mexican FIWARE Node...
Hugo Estrada, Miguel Gonzalez
ICT 2015
The inception
The creation of the Mexican FIWARE-Lab Node is the result of a
successful cooperation plan between México and the European
Commission.
The Mexican association with FIWARE
of the FI-PPP program
One of the main areas of interest of INFOTEC, Tec de Monterrey and other
key actors in ICT in Mexico is the internet at infrastructure level (clusters
and communications) and at application level (web applications, cloud
computing, Big Data). As a strategic alliance, we promote an association
with the EU with the objective of using the FIWARE Platform to capture
new opportunities derived from Future Internet technologies.
How to make this idea a reality
in a non-European country?
¡Cooperation!

We executed an collaboration action with
FIWARE experts to design the first version
of Mexico FIWARE-Lab node.
The node was implemented in a initial
hardware infrastructure of INFOTEC
consisting of 100 processing cores.

As a result of this process,
we created the Mexico
FIWARE-Lab node, which is
part of the FIWARE
infrastructure.

One of the key process of tuning is the creation of two implementation of FIWARE-Lab,
one node dedicated to experimental purposes and one productive node based on the
availability and security of our Data Center Tier III.
Tier 3: Redundant capacity components + Dualpowered equipment's and multiple uplinks,
guaranteeing 99.982 availability.

The next steps
Based on FIWARE ACCELERATOR PROGRAMME of the European
Commission, we propose the creation of a Mexican funding program that
allow the participation of public and private organizations to support the
Mexican entities to generate solutions with FIWARE.

In place of centralize the training and support to FIWARE, we will
create a funding programme for companies giving support activities

The next steps
In this year, we propose the acquisition of the following components to extend
the performance of the LaNIF:
• Sensor networks (board +
sensors,
controllers,
actuators, access points,
mounting kits, etc.)
• Adding 272 cores for
FIWARE Cluster = TOTAL
of 976 cores
