30. IoT Architecture by Red Hat & Eurotech
Conclusions, Summary
• The concept of a Software-defined Gateway or Multi-Service Gateway is
very powerful and an essential element in IoT solutions. The ability to
program smart edge devices (including gateways) in a secure execution
environment in Java/OSGi on abstracted hardware offers substantial
benefits to companies that need their value proposition extended to the IoT
edge.
• Different from “traditional” M2M or telemetry like approaches the Software-
Defined Gateway does require dynamically changing and updating of
device software including the application life cycle management. Remote
device and embedded application management is a significant part of the
TCO of an IoT solution. The use of M2M/IoT Integration Platform
capabilities is improving overall cost and time-to-market for IoT solutions
significantly.
• There is a magnificent and powerful IT world that the OT world with Software-
Defined Edge nodes need to be seamlessly and securely integrated with.
