IoT (Internet of Things) Solution
The IoT is the network of physical things embedded with devices, software sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these devices to collect and exchange data. It allows devices to be sensed and controlled remotely and securely across network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer systems. It is the evolution of machine-to-machine (M2M) technology and is the interconnection of devices and management platforms.
The rapid expansion of connected devices presents a unique opportunity to grow your business. The Internet of Things offers new ways to engage customers, develop new business models and greater insights at the intelligent edge.
These are the foundational element of an IoT solution:
IoT Connectivity
- Pre-integrated connected capabilities enable rich network options to save development time and costs
- Provides an extensive network of connectivity: Wired, Wireless, Cellular, Short-range
- ...
IoT is the evolution of machine-to-machine (M2M) technology and is the interconnection of devices and management platforms. Robust connectivity is the foundation of the IoT.
IoT connectivity represents great potential. It can automate decisions and be a catalyst for new products and services, but only when insights come from data collected through secure connections and trusted devices.
IoT can enable new business models and revenue streams by monetizing device data through a scalable, modular, ubiquitous IoT platform that offers device and service management on premise or through the cloud.
IoT Compute
- How can we best apply computing resources to address the problems you are trying to solve?
- How to collect, analyze, process, and act on the data?
- Where is the best place to locate compute resources?
- ...
Data flows from things to collection, analysis and storage. Insights derived from data analytics can be required in real time for immediate response or can be aggregated for later use.
For real-time insights, data processing should occur at its source. Computing at the edge reduces delay and avoids bandwidth consumption while transmitting data to the cloud or data center.
Delivers the right amount of compute at the right place -whether at the edge for immediate insight, in the cloud or data center- to efficiently power your IoT deployment.
IoT Manageability
- Enable common provisioning frameworks
- Manage distributed policy: enable remote, secure upgrades,...
- Manage Life cycle: discovery, attestation, provisioning, monitoring, event handling, querying, retirement
- Provide web-based configuration utilities
- ...
Management of heterogeneous device types and configurations in a scalable way.
IoT Security
- Helps protect devices for trust and control
- Helps protect the Device
- Helps protect the application
- Helps protect the data at rest and in flight
- ...
The vast volumes of device data in the IoT must be protected from theft, modification and exploitation from the instant it is created. Security has to continue while data is in transit through the network, at rest in data stores and when in use by applications.
