Time Series Data, Why NoSQL and Best Practices on IOT Data Modelling

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term coined by tech developer Kevin Ashton to describe the interconnected network of physical devices and vehicles that electronically collect and share data using embedded sensors. IoT devices are deeply embedded systems comprised of SoCs, DDR Memory, Power Management ICs, Wireless LAN ICs, and microcontrollers which utilize low speed serial communication protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI etc. to name a few.

IoT deployments carry inherent risks like undeterred access to devices, poor connectivity and a very large threat surface. With ever-increasing incidents of intrusion, denial of service, spoofing attacks, etc., businesses must take a strategic view of IoT security. IoT developers and Solutions Architects know that a solid security architecture for IoT will require encryption, authentication, and authorization to run at scale. However, today, IoT security needs a different paradigm than IT security – here is where MQTT comes in to help in mitigating IoT security vulnerabilities.

Where are my assets? IoT is enabling secure tracking of moving assets throughout the supply chain. Knowing where things are at any given time or any place is critical to transforming business operations – reducing theft and loss, saving time and money, and improving operational efficiency. But what technology is required to enable this business transformation? How do you make sense of it all and choose the best option for your IoT initiative? Should you build or buy?
