What’s Unique about Mobile Applications?

Expectations are high, loyalty is low– Reliability and usability matter! If your application doesn’t function reliably each & every time users invoke it and it’s

easy to use, they will find another app & another business to deal with

Access patterns and volumes are less predictable– More service calls from mobile devices, potentially more users, at anytime– Short & focused interactions, interruptions are common– Apps still need to be usable when out of wireless coverage

Rapid refresh rates– Mobile apps are written, used & replaced at a far higher rate than traditional enterprise applications– Mobile devices & platforms themselves evolve rapidly

Provide unique context insights and thereby unique opportunities– For example user location information is available to potentially be utilised

Performance expectation– Immediate response expected from mobile applications

Security is a paramount concern– Mobility of devices makes them easier to steal or spoof

Bandwidth and battery life are at a premium– Need to minimize back and forth communications


You need to connect using more than just HTTP

The HTTP standard revolutionized how we consume data– A single simple model: Send a request, read the response– Available via any tablet, laptop, phone, PC etc.

Mobile and the Internet of Things applications have additional challenges– HTTP remains ideal for requesting data from a known source

• Mobile user requesting info– But we also need an event-oriented paradigm:

• Emitting information one to many• Listening for events whenever they happen• Distributing minimal packets of data in huge volumes• Pushing information over unreliable networks • Reliably completing mobile business transactions


What is IBM What is IBM MessageSight?MessageSight?

Its an appliance

It is designed to handle the growing “Internet of Things”/M2M economy

It leverages a lightweight messaging protocol – MQTT

Facebook messenger app use MQTT and has 850+ million usersWhy MQTT? – it uses less bandwidth and battery power than HTTP

Designed to sit at the edge of the enterprise in the DMZ

Can’t be hacked! No user changeable OS, totally encryptedFewer firewall ports to open

Scales – 1 million concurrently connected devices supported

Handles millions messages a second
