This document introduces QIoT Suite Lite, a private IoT cloud platform from QNAP. It discusses the limitations of public IoT clouds in terms of security, bandwidth optimization, latency, and lack of internet connectivity. QIoT Suite Lite provides a private cloud solution that stores data locally on QNAP NAS devices. This allows users to build IoT applications without streaming all data to the cloud. The document provides examples of how QIoT Suite Lite has been used for education and agriculture applications by providing local storage, connectivity for sensors, and data analysis tools. It also notes the platform works with common IoT protocols and industrial field gateways.

4. What makes IoT world ?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to machine-to-
machine (M2M) technology enabled by secure
network connectivity and cloud infrastructure, to
reliably transform data into useful information for
people, businesses, and institutions
Connectivity and data
are the key elements !!

5. Public IoT Cloud connect
almost everything, but is it
the best solution for all ?

6. QNAP NAS provides a
simple, secure, scalable
and reliable storage
solution.
Challenges of public IoT cloud
• Security and Privacy
• Unoptimized bandwidth and storage
• No Internet and Latency

7. Public cloud VS Private cloud
Public Cloud
Publicly-shared
virtualized
resources
Suited for non-
confidential
information
Supports
connectivity over
the Internet
support multiple
users
Pay monthly or by
usage
Private Cloud
Privately shared
virtualized
resources
Suited for confidential
information & core
systems.
Connectivity over
Internet, fibre and
private network
Cluster of
dedicated ursers
One-time cost

8. Is your network ready?
● It is not realistic to stream all of
your data to the cloud due to
network bottlenecks.
Is your pocket ready?
● Total storage costs may be
excessive if unprocessed data is
sent and stored in the cloud for a
prolonged period of time.
Bandwidth and storage usage is not optimized

9. When Internet connectivity is not an option
● Some devices may be unable to connect
to the public cloud due to regulations
(hospitals, public sector, etc).
When there is inconsistent connectivity
● Intermittent Internet connectivity may
cause machine damage in factories.
Solve Internet Connection Problems
> Data loss
> Downtime
> Need on-call access information
Sorry No
Internet Today

10. Solve Internet Connection Problems
No worry !
QNAP NAS securely stores your
data with or without an internet
connection.

11. When reaction time is critical
● Some IoT applications are unable to
wait for data to get to the cloud, be
analyzed, and for insights to be
processed and returned.
Latency is big issue
The Internet has two latency issues :
> Slow connection
> Unstable connection

12. Avoid Internet Latency issues
- Secure Environment
- Stable internet connection
- Able to take action in real time
