So why do we need to do things differently ?

How do we make this happen ?

What needs to be done differently ? • Think holistically, not about point in time problems - Often, an M2M system is seen as a point

in time solution to a point in time problem. No consideration (budget) is given to how and where else

the data might be used, or to how future, undefined assets might share the same infrastructure.

Project led thinking remains one of the fundamental contributors to the continuing deployment of silos

of automation, invariably resulting in significant downstream costs as new requirements emerge.

• Think data centric, not device centric – if a system needs to know in advance any device

specific information in order to recover data from an it, then the data can’t be reused flexibly. This

information must be abstracted by the platform, and stakeholder applications should only concern

themselves with the types of information they are interested in.

• Think about remote device management via a common infrastructure – the ability to

remotely manage a population of installed devices saves significantly on the lifetime cost of

ownership of a system – FACT ! Make sure that you can do this over the same infrastructure used for

the data recovery, and make sure the features cover what you need – application deployment &

maintenance, device restart, diagnostics, firmware upgrades etc.

• Leverage existing technology solutions, don’t create ‘another’ standard – Great standards

already exist to achieve the functionality needed in systems – VPNs, SSH tunnelling, SSL/IPSEC

security, REST APIS for database access etc. Given the huge horizontal reach of IoT technology, no

‘one size fits all’ standard protocol is going to emerge, instead of trying to define one, use the most

appropriate of the existing protocols in this space and focus on interoperability above the middleware

layer.

M2M Integration Platform

• Everyware Cloud is about Device Data, about M2M: It has been built

from the ground-up to provide an infrastructure that is optimized for

device data communication, collection, analysis and management.

• It is an Integration Platform: Everyware Cloud is designed to act as an

intermediate system between distributed devices and the applications

interacting with them. Communication is bidirectional, allowing

applications to control and manage the devices when required, and the

system supports one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one operation.

• Everyware Cloud is conceptually like an Operating System for the

Internet of Things, enabling the transfer of device data to and from

Enterprise applications independently of any other language, platform or

OS

New M2M / IoT Architectures Eurotech Solution Recap

Eurotech M2M Solutions Eurotech Named a Cool Vendor in Gartner 2013 IT/OT

Alignment and Integration Report

According to the Gartner report recommendations,

“Integration managers should look at cloud-based integration

platforms supporting vendor neutral-technologies to optimize

costs, accelerate time to deployment, and reduce vendor

lock-in for integration of OT systems with enterprise

applications.”

“Integration managers and other IT leaders involved in the

definition and planning of IT/OT integration strategies should

look at iPaaS-oriented approaches to address the issues of

collecting, aggregating, filtering, preprocessing and analyzing

OT data, and of integrating OT systems with back-end

enterprise applications as a way to optimize costs and time

to deployment,” according to the report.

Gartner, Inc., Cool Vendors in IT/OT Alignment and Integration, Kristian Steenstrup, Massimo Pezzini, et al, April 23, 2013.

Disclaimer

technology users to select only those vendors with the highest ratings. Gartner research publications consist of the

opinions of Gartner's research organization and should not be construed as statements of fact. Gartner disclaims all

Eurotech's M2M / IoT Value Proposition

• Gartner / Cool Vendors in IT/OT Alignment Report

“However, they should also favor providers, such as Eurotech, that offer open-standards-

based platforms, and can support on-premises deployment models to minimize vendor

lock-in issues and maintain strategic agility.”

• Eclipse Foundation / M. Milinkovich

“I just got the full Eclipse Kura demo and I was blown away. Very cool stuff.”

• VDC Research Group

“With two decades of embedded/M2M experience, existing capabilities, and investments,

we expect Eurotech to differentiate itself versus other traditional embedded board vendors

as the company moves up the value chain.”

• Harbor Research, White Paper

“Eurotech has organized a novel combination of tools and technologies that work together

in unprecedented ways to solve more complex business problems than previous

generations of intelligent device networking technology and enterprise applications have

been able.”
