o Smart Cities are built “block
by block”
o Each project can be built by
assembling the shown
blocks
o Projects are then integrated
to create an interconnected
smart city
o Let’s go block by block and
explore!

Aspects of an IoT Ecosystem – Capture, Analyze, Store,
React, Predict, Manage and Interconnect
o 3 layers, if we vertically slice the block
‐ Fog - between the ”Thing” and the “Cloud”
‐ DBZ/Cloud – Data center edge
‐ Core – traditional business logic and big data
destination, where business logic lives
o 3 layers if we horizontally slice
‐ Network
‐ Messaging and APIs
‐ Apps
o Plus management and security

CONFIDENTIAL
Aspects of an IoT Ecosystem – Capture, Analyze, Store,
React, Predict, Manage and Interconnect
o Thing – a very broad term
o Are M2M, Sensor Networks and IoT
all the same?
o “Thing” is a source of information
and sometimes destination too
o It could be as simple as a remote
sensor and as sophisticated as a
device with apps
o It is connected via Network and
Messaging

o Capture and Reply – the ability to
communicate with the “thing”
‐ Essentially in the fog, but could be in
the DMZ too
‐ Standards based capture and reply –
MQTT, REST, …
‐ Adapters for legacy integration, such
as SCADA
‐ Fog computing if needed – quick
calculations, filtering etc
o Messaging plays a critical role
both in the Fog and DMZ

Fog
Aspects of an IoT Ecosystem – Capture, Analyze, Store,

o Store – the ability to store
information where it matters
‐ Zero data loss – persistence with HA
and DR
‐ Burst handling – fan in
‐ Slow consumer isolation and handling
– no back pressure to the publisher
‐ Big data storage is a good idea

Why Solace
o Low latency, real-time messaging –
moving away from a data base
driven message bus to Solace real
time messaging – allows recall time
reduction from days to minutes
o WAN Optimization – the ability to

latency, loss less manner from 21
factories around the world to HQ
o Big Data ingest – was added later
without any changes to messaging
o Performance, speed and simplicity
