Cloud Connectivity Platforms which might become important for IoT, according to VDC Research in 2014, 2015, 2016

  1. AWS IoT → New in 2016.
  2. Cloudera - “The Platform for Big Data and the Leading Solution for Apache Hadoop in the Enterprise”.
  3. Electric Imp. - “The Electric Imp platform is the complete solution to easily connect any device to the Internet”. Free account.
  4. Etherios Inc., USA / Etherios, Inc., UK, a Division of Digi International - Etherios Device Cloud (formerly iDigi).
  5. Eurotech ESF / Eurotech Everyware Cloud.
  6. Google Cloud Platform IoT → New in 2016.
  7. IBM.
    • IBM Bluemix → New in 2016.
    • IBM Watson IoT → New in 2016.
  8. Microsoft Azure.
  9. OpenStack.
  10. Oracle IoT Cloud → New in 2016.
  11. SAP HANA → New in 2016.
  12. Sierra Wireless AirVantage - “The AirVantage Enterprise Platform offers advanced REST APIs along with powerful device and data management dashboards”.
  13. ThingWorx - “Internet of Things and M2M Application Platform”.
    • Webinar A Fresh Look at Things, 2016-01-28 ( 14:00 -16:00 GMT, 20:00 - 22:00 GMT ) - “On January 28, PTC's vision to bridge the digital and physical worlds becomes reality, introducing entirely new ways to experience the 'things' in the Internet of Things”.
    • Market:
      • The ThingWorks server is targeting to be an addon to existing MES systems ( → seeManufacturing Execution Systems ( MES ), in the means of “Brilliant Manufacturing” / “Industry 4.0” to enable a “Machine Visibility Application”, not as replacement for existing MES systems. Sort of “MES Next Level” :-).
    • Implementation:
      • There is a commercial online service, with limited free account.
      • You can buy the software for installation in your own datacenter.
    • Technology:
      • Communications by Websockets.
      • Java application, to be deployed on a Apache Tomcat Server.
      • Database. Neo4J ist the default database and was the only one for longtime, but now other databases like Cassandra or Postgres are supported.
      • There is a Javascript engine with JS framework on eye-level with NodeJS installed on the server. You may write user-specific code to collect data, to generate reports by a database query. By user-defined Javascript scripts, the system may also do event handling. Some users agree that concerning this aspect, the system is similar to SalesForge.
    • Creation of a simple demo application.
      • Steps:
        • Define / select the “Properties”.
        • Define the behaviour of your application by a “Service”. You may create services by your own JS scripts.
        • Create an “Application”, a dashboard ( a mashup of data visualisations on a canvas ).
    • A “Stream” is a time series of values, which can be handled by your own JS scripts. The report may be a table filled with data, with your “Properties” as table headers.
    • At ThingWorx Marketplace, there are offers
      • Templates
      • Constoum Graphic Controls, for the mashup.
    • Jobs: ThingWorx has an office in Ratingen, Germany, but no vacancies / job openings are offered :-(.
  14. Xively by LogMein - “Xively provides the platform, tools, services and support needed to create and manage compelling connected products and services on the Internet of Things”. Free developer account.

IoT application development and deployment platforms, which might become important for IoT, according to VDC Research in 2016

IoT frameworks/platforms, according to VDC Research in 2017

The Texas Instruments Cloud Ecosystem

  1. 2lemetry - “IoT Platform, Middleware and Solutions”.
    • 2lemetry "How It Works" - “2lemetry’s ThingFabric Platform has been architected to provide superior flexibility, performance and intelligence. Here’s how it works”.
    • If you don´t operate your device in “smart mode” ( e.g. with code generated by the “Energia” software tool, or with the code of “Lab2” of the CC3200 workshop ), you have to specify the local Internet router!
    • “Lab2” of the CC3200 workshop:
      1. SSID_NAME = “ssid_name”.
      2. SECURITY_TYPE = SL_SE_TYPE_WPA.
      3. SECURITY_KEY = “password”.
    • Energia:
      1. #WIFI_SSID = “ssid_name”.
      2. #WIFI_PWD = “password”.
    • Be shure to configure your access data in your local device software properly:
      1. TWOELEMENTRY_USERID = “Key (Username)”
      2. TWOELEMENTRY_PASSWORD = “MD5 Secret” ( and not the “Secret (Password)” )!!
      3. TWOELEMENTRY_DOMAIN_STUFF = “Project” ( a long string of letters and numbers ).
    • I participated in the hands on workshop of 2lemetry expert LinkedIn "Mark Mulrooney" on 2014-12-10 in Mittwerda, Germany.
  2. Exosite - “Internet of Things, Visual Analytics, Remote Monitoring”. Free community account, different from the partner accounts ( i.e. the free at Texas Instruments' service at Exosite ).
    • Exosite "Texas Instruments" - Free “Community” account for developers ( public sharing, with add-ons, 2 devices, 10 email alerts / day, 0 SMS / month ).
  3. Sensinode Ltd - An ARM company.
  4. Thingsquare - “A software platform that lets product makers connect products with smartphones”.
  5. Xively ( see on this page ).
