The ability of embedded systems to connect and communicate over a network is the essenceof IoT. Indeed, IoT operating systems are a type of embedded OS and are, by definition,designed to enable data transfer over the internet.IoT OS are designed to perform within particular IoT device constraints, including restrictionson memory, size, power, and processing capacity.

Things to Consider When Choosing an IoT OSWhat level ofreliability and longterm support isneeded?The key to this question is the type ofedge device being created. Each has itsown lifecycle.Does this OS providescalability?Will this OS ensuredevice security?Building an IoT edge device with ascalable OS means accommodatingdifferent systems won't necessitateextensive future changes.The level of security features neededvaries according to the sensitivity of thedata handled and/or the industry orapplication in which the intelligent edgedevice is used.Does this OS offer easy devicemanagement?What are your performancerequirements?Device management is key to keeping a device runningAligning the needs of your IoT solution with actual OScapabilities is another consideration; especially as itrelates to computer or processing power, and realtime performance.smoothly. Some OS provide specialized features for aspecific set of applications and peripherals.

"Client Access License" (CAL) ExplainedThe “Client Access License” (CAL) grantscustomers the right to use hardwaredevices (e.g. specialized devices, PDAs,and cell phones) to legitimately connectto the server host.In simple terms, if a customer onlyobtains a legitimate server softwarelicense, but doesn’t purchase any “ClientAccess License” (CAL), their specializeddevices and employees will not have theright to connect to a server.CALEnd user deviceServer

Windows Server IoT 2019 CALWhen a customer buys Windows Server IoT 2019, they receive a server license that allows installation on the OSof one computer. A server license by itself does not provide the legal right to allow others to connect to thatcomputer, whether they work for the company or not. Instead, each employee or employee’s device requires aClient Access License (CAL) to connect to Windows Server IoT 2019 Standard or Datacenter editions.Both a Windows Server CAL (User or Device) and an RDS CAL are required for remote desktop access. RDS CALscontain a product key for activation.User CALsDevice CALsRDS CALsSingle user with unlimited devicesSingle device with unlimited usersRequired for remote desktop accessIdeal for companies with employeeswho need to have roaming access to thecorporate network using multipledevices, as well as from unknowndevices.Ideal for companies with multiple usersfor one device, such as shift workers.Ideal for companies with users that needto access programs or the full desktopremotely.

The Difference Between User CAL and Device CALUser CALsThe User CAL, enables you to purchase a CAL forevery user who accesses the server to use servicessuch as file storage or printing, regardless of thenumber of devices they use for that access.Purchasing a User CAL might make more sense ifyour company’s employees need to have roamingaccess to the corporate network using multipledevices, or from unknown devices, or if you simplyhave more devices than users in your organization.Client access license based on user*Only cover servers with OS version equal or older than version of CAL

The Difference Between User CAL and Device CALDevice CALsWith a Device CAL, you purchase a CAL for everydevice that accesses your server — regardless of thenumber of users who use that device to access theserver.Device CALs may make more economic andadministrative sense if your company has workerswho share devices — for example, on different workshifts.Client access license based on device*Only cover servers with OS version equal or older than version of CAL
