This document discusses architecting an IoT solution and addresses common dilemmas. It introduces Guy Vinograd as the CEO of Softimize, an IoT platform provider. Softimize's TBBT platform offers services like push notifications, access control, security, billing and analytics to help vendors focus on their core business rather than developing their own cloud infrastructure. The document then outlines three common IoT design dilemmas around human-sensor interactions, sensor placement and maintenance, and determining the best locations for an IoT gateway, data and logic processing, and message formats.

1. Guy Vinograd, CEO
IoT = Device + Cloud
How to architect an IoT Solution

2.  Developing IoT for OEMs
◦ Cloud – Mobile – Web over TBB
◦ Device vendors - focus on your core
 Million-scale users, 100K+ devices
 Trusted advisor for IoT
About Me and Softimize

3. Security Users/Devices
Data Streaming Vendor Services
Management
TBBTM – The Best IoT Platform for Vendors
Push notifications
Access Control – laas, SaaS
Vendor and cloud provider protection
Billing & Payment
Licensing – per Tenant. Trial license
Site management – Multi device
Complex event processing
Real-time, sub second latency
Users | Devices and hierarchies
Encryption, Tenant isolation
Back-office, Audit
Analytics – Failures, Usage patterns
Prediction – Churn, Upsell
On Premise
Cloud Abstraction
Multi Cloud
Abstraction Layers for managed services
NO DevOps-hungry open sources
Device Interaction
MQTT, HTTP

4. Top-Level IoT Design
Dilemmas

5.  Human-sensor interactions?
 How many sensors per location?
 Sensor maintainability?
#1 – Where is my IoT Gateway

6.  Cloud – the ideal
◦ Protects IP
◦ Data Privacy
 Raw signal = less risk
◦ Cheaper
◦ High availability/durability
 GW ("fog") – the reality
◦ Offline
◦ True real time
◦ Data BW is large
#2 – Where is the Logic & Data?

7.  Questions
◦ Message size/velocity
◦ NW environment
◦ Ability of device processing
 Encryption
 Too much?
◦ Value of each message? Value of the action taken
◦ Offline training of ML - identify the right metrics.
(Mind the training period)
#3 – What are the Messages?
