7 WHAT IS THE IDIGI DEVICE CLOUD?

8 What is the idigi Device Cloud?

9 Internet of Things is the future 2.4 billion machine devices in 2008 Over 1 Trillion devices in 2012 Cloud Computing to manage a lot of it 9

10 Evolution of Device connectivity Serial Device connectivity Used to connect existing serial hardware Introduced connection to local IP infrastructure Limitations in remote connectivity WAN Device connectivity Introduced VPN to extend corporate networks over the Internet Limitations in scalability / become complex installations M2M Networking Solutions Including local RF for cost effective solutions Introduced Cloud Computing for easy scalability

11 The Shift to the Cloud Percent of Total IT Expenditure Source: Saugatuck Technology Inc Cloud Infrastructure Survey

12 Some Cloudy Terms Cloud Computing: is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. Variants: SAAS(Software), PAAS(Platform), IAAS(Infrastructure) On Demand (pay as you use) Completely Elastic Fully Managed by Provider Web Services: Enable any application to be able to communicate over the Web. Web Services are published, found, and used through the Internet. Web services communicate using open protocols Web services are self-contained and self-describing Web services can be used by other applications XML (with HTTP) is often (but not always) used for Web services 12

13 How to run systems for Millions of Users

14 The Challenge Compounded PAIN Management Cost and Complexity Number of Gateways / Devices 14

15 In the End it s a typical M2M Scenario Collect / Control - Transfer - Present Information & Manage Remote Information Assets Smart Applications Network Local application to read temperature and control Heating & Air-condition Local Data Collection & Control How to access interfaces from remote applications? How to manage remote assets in the field? Configuration / Firmware Updates / etc.

16 Information flow in M2M Collect / Control - Transfer - Present Information & Manage Remote Information Assets Business Applications Customer Network Public Internet Use existing infrastructure Use Internet Access It becomes complex and there are several challenges

17 Building Blocks from Digi Gateways = Connectport X Provide WAN to PAN connectivity (Cellular, WiFi, Ethernet..) Intelligent = Programmable in Python with Eclipse tool chain Processor Modules = ConnectCore Embedded solution on module for fast and simple integration Various EOS like Linux or WinCE with full BSP Embedded RF Modules = XBee Mesh or Point-to-Multi Point topology ZigBee (incl.
