Diagramics Consulting - Internet of Things Blueprints
Diagramics is a registered Microsoft Azure IoT Advisor
Companies are excited by the opportunities around the Internet of Things (IoT), but CIO-s are realizing IoT is not a “one size fits all” solution.
The integration of IoT technologies varies among companies and industries significantly.
Implementing the right IoT solution requires an IoT architect
Any IoT implementation includes a combination of foure key architectural components – things, gateways, clients, and cloud.
- Things
Things can be dumb or smart on their own and store some or most of their data onboard. Things can be self-sufficient and/or communicate to the internet for centralized coordination and analysis.
- Gateways
Gateways helps devices to communicate with the Cloud. Gateways may house some of the application logic, but most of the business logic is implemented by the Cloud.
- Cloud
Cloud is the central connection hub, power analytics and data storage. Things don’t have to be as smart, because the cloud provides these resources.
- Smart clients
Smart clients (smartphone or any mobile device, web app, native app, etc.) are devices that users use to interact with IoT systems. Smart clients may house application logic, store data silos and communicate with the Cloud on behalf of things that are connected to it.
There is no single "location" for an IoT application. The functionality, data, business logic, and even UI composition and rendering of IoT applications are actually highly distributed –
on the smart thing itself, in a gateway, in a smart client and in the cloud.
Each IoT architecture will include more than one of these four functional components.
The ultimate goal of modern IoT architectures is to eliminate the technological segregation created by the cloud, gateways, things and clients.
