"fog computing", there's a term that had passed me by.

$169 retail price.

This will be available in U.S. in December.

Where?

Annapurna Labs AL-314 processor

I believe this is the same one they use in their NAS, so with this one is able to get the QTS experience without the NAS hardware. Not bad for $169.

Where?

It's QNAP's MSRP in the US, €159 in Europe.

Just note that other QNAP NAS units can run the same QIoT app suite (see the QNAP app store). Sunny is useful for QIoT development if one doesn't have a QNAP compatible NAS already in place.

Good example of what QIoT can do working with an SBC like RPi

QIoT suite in App Center - as QBoat is ARM based, also look at the Container Station support...

(Intel based QNAP's can also run Virtualization Station)

Nice platform anyways for folks that don't need to get into the metal, but more focused on IoT type applications
