- 2. Getting out of the Haze: Hybrid Cloud Computing Becomes Foggy Syed Zaeem Hosain (“Z”) Aeris Communications
- 3. About Aeris • Our Company – M2M Pioneer > 18 years – HQ in Silicon Valley – Services since mid-1990’s • Our Solution – M2M / IoT Platform – Complete M2M Stack – Connectivity to Application Enablement • The Numbers – 99.995% infrastructure reliability – Operation in 190 countries – 250+ Million M2M messages / day
- 4. The Internet of Things Sensors & Devices & “Things” Connectivity & Transport & Protocols Systems & Processes & People Bidirectional Information Flow … Messaging and Control
- 5. What is Happening in IoT • Explosion of new IoT applications – Connected using Cloud solutions – Demand for efficient access to data • Information has value … – Data mashups have greater value • Thinking: gather as much data as possible
- 6. Bringing New Challenges • Scaling for explosive growth • Security for content & transmissions • Storage & efficient analysis of data • Multiple transport technologies • Connectivity management
- 7. Predictions are Staggering • 2010, IBM (describing their Rational software design) – “A World with 1 Trillion Connected Devices” … by 2015 • 2011, Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg – “50 Billion Connected Devices” … by 2020 • 2013, ABI Research report – “30 Billion” … by 2020 • 2013, Morgan Stanley report – “75 Billion Devices Connected to the IoT” … by 2020 • 2014, Intel infographic – “31 billion devices connected to the Internet” … by 2020 • 2014, ABI Research updated report – “41 billion active wireless connected devices” … by 2020 Source: Intel
- 8. “Big Data” Says • “We don’t know what we want to look at, so … transmitting, storing & searching haystacks is fine” • But! – Finding timely, actionable data could be expensive – Cost of metered transport, storage, analytics, etc. Distributed processing of information is vital
- 9. Impact of One Prediction • Cellular M2M Devices send on average: 2 MBytes / month • USA: 15M cellular devices (8% of all M2M): 30 TBytes / Month Total cellular M2M data use is increasing • Number of cellular M2M devices (at 5%): 2.5 Billion • Data (assuming 4MB / month): 10,000,000 TBytes / month With 50 Billion Devices by 2020 • Transmissions and total data haystacks are enormous • Demands “processing at the edge” … at device Fog Computing Even with conservative estimates
- 10. One Idea … Gateways • Hierarchically connecting Sensors & Devices – Aggregating hybrid sources of data – WAN transport over Cellular, Wireline, & Other • Gateways must be programmable … filters change – Agent software in gateways (and devices?) – Good spot in chain for security best practices
- 11. Final Thoughts • Cooperation – … Intl M2M Council … Industrial Internet Consortium … • Standards – … ETSI … TIA … OneM2M … • API’s to connect Things – … AllSeen Alliance … Open Internet Consortium … • Education – … M2M Evolution … IoT World Forum …
