OSGi Community Event 2013 (http://www.osgi.org/CommunityEvent2013/Schedule) ABSTRACT M2M is a highly dynamic market and is turning ever more challenging and complex as we progress toward fulfilling the vision of the Internet of Things. There are several big challenges to overcome. While device interoperability between devices and with the cloud has already been tackled, one of the biggest challenges is the managing of the devices and its resources in the cloud as well as ensuring scalability across a wide range of intelligent, heterogeneous devices. The strongly adopted M2M-gateways based on Java/ OSGi pose another dimension to manageability, as you now need to do complete lifecycle management of the applications including the efficient and secure deployment of software components and also manage their use of resources on the embedded devices. We will present an integrated End-2-End Java/ OSGI solution addressing this, consisting of an embedded Java/ OSGI solution for the client-side and a JavaEE-based backend system. We will also show the results of a performance benchmarking of the ProSyst backend device management system (mPRM) deployed on Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud system with Oracle Exadata Database, which demonstrates an integrated backend M2M solution capable to provide real-time management and monitoring of millions of simultaneously connected devices in a very efficient and secure manner. Last not least, we will talk about concrete customer deployments and demonstrate the complete solution. SPEAKER BIOS Thomas, CEO of ProSyst, joined them in November 2000. Before, he gained over 17 years of experience in international banking, thereof 4 years as an Executive Board member of Chase Manhattan Bank AG, as head of the banks corporate business, and, since mid 1998, as a Managing Director of Capital Markets at Merrill Lynch Germany.

23. Management Operations
Management operation is a means for execution of a set of commands over single or
multiple (possibly all) devices registered in the mPRM system, e.g. software deployment,
changing of configuration setting, etc.

Operation target:



single concrete device vs. all devices in a particular device group vs. new devices
devices, which full-fill a given criteria (filter)
Execution time:
•
instant execution vs. scheduled for a exact date-time vs. periodic execution

execution on every device connection

Tracking the progress and outcome of the management operation - number of devices, executed the
operation, the devices which are still pending, errors and warning, etc.

Persistent queuing of operations for the devices that are not currently connected to the network

GUI and Scripting tools for defining and executing of management operations

Support for multiple software/content types and distribution formats - OSGi Bundles, OSGi
Deployment Packages, MIDlet Suites, Debian Packages, IPKG, software images (zip
archives), content files (text,audio, video), and others.
Support different network protocols for downloading of the software and content files – like
OMA and/ or TR-069 Download, HTTP(S), FTP and others.
Central database maintaining executable code and content intended for delivery to the
devices, including software content files and additional properties facilitating the proper
installation/delivery to the devices.
Software dependency management – automatic and/or manual defining of dependency
and compatibility relations between software components and their different versions.
Software requirement management – automatic and/or manual defining of device
capability requirements of the software and content.
Dependency resolving and capability matching – determines the components and versions
which are suitable for every unique device

25. User Management
The User management subsystem in mPRM offers comprehensive procedures for
managing users of mPRM and OSGi based devices of the connected to the mPRM. It
features:
 Maintaining of central database with user and user group information:
User authentication data - password, certificates or other credentials used for authentication of the
users

User authorization data - based on OSGi User Admin model - the access rights of an user is determined
by its role (role based authorization). Role of the user is determined by the user groups which the user
belongs to.


User basic profile properties

User preferences - following the model of the OSGi Preferences service.
 Integration with user management and preferences services of the managed OSGi
devices - synchronization of user and user preferences information between the central
backend server and the devices

29. Small-Scale Deployment

Consists of one backend server host,
assigned with the Control Center,
Management Server and Remote
Access Server roles.

The mPRM databases are in a single
RDBMS server

Single mPRM Management Server
can handle between 10,000 and
200,000+ concurrently online devices.

The administration can be via
mConsole or Web Portal, connected
locally or remotely

30. Large-Scale Deployment

Involves numerous backend
server hosts, each one
managing large amount of
devices / service gateways

The information specific for
each MS is kept in a separate
database server residing in the
MS's local network. (managed
devices, operations, etc)

This model ensures optimal
distribution of the load among
the different backend hosts and
databases, and provides
efficient data exchange in terms
of network traffic.
