What is IoT platform?

An IoT platform is a suite of components that enable Developers to deploy Apps, Remote Data Collection, Secure connectivity, Device/Sensor MGMT.

Some of the IoT platform:

  1. Cumulocity
  2. Cisco IoT System
  3. ORACLE IoT Cloud Service
  4. Watson IoT
  5. Microsoft Azure IoT Suite
  6. AWS IoT Service
  7. KAA
  8. Predix

Among these Platform Cumulocity plays a vital role. Let me describe why Cumulocity becomes popular nowadays,

The intended use of Cumulocity:

Cumulocity gives you very fast visibility and control over your remote assets, be these houses, cars, machines or any other assets that you need to manage.

Cumulocity provides:

  • Certified hardware kits and software libraries you can use to bring your remote assets into the cloud.
  • Device management, data visualization and remote control functionality through the web.
  • Rapid customization of the above through Cumulocity Event Language rules and Cumulocity applications.
  • APIs for extending the existing functionality or interfacing Cumulocity with your other IT services such as ERP or CRM systems. Cumulocity can also host your HTML5 applications.

All this is provided through a cloud-based subscription service making the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions with Cumulocity fundamentally different from bespoke development and RAD (rapid application development).

You can start immediately with a large amount of existing functionality, and you can start for free. You do not need to worry about IT infrastructure (hosting, networking, security, storage and backup) and IT management (all software is available to your users).

Cumulocity works with any network architecture, but is specifically designed to work out of the box with mobile networks.
