But while recognizing that the value of IoT is

in the data, no platform vendor has yet

solved the problem of how to provide

seamless, scalable, and secure data sharing

across the whole IoT domain…

Critical Gap

• Secure, efficient and ubiquitous device-to-device and device-to-cloud data sharing

• Scalable automatic discovery

• Elastic analytics, i.e., run the analytics where it makes sense in the cloud or at the edge and let the data flow there

• Seamless application interoperability

• Integration of IT and OT data domains

• Ease of integration with other IoT building blocks

As illustrated in the previous slide, most IoT platform solutions have

not moved beyond stovepipe IoT connectivity. To build a solution that

unleashes the most valuable part of IoT (the data), a scalable data-

sharing infrastructure is critical, and must include:
