Oracle’s Internet of Things Platform Solutions for a Connected World The Connected World We live in a world where billions of connected devices, from smart vehicles to intelligent utility meters, generate increasing quantities of data. Figure 1. Oracle’s Internet of Things PlatformIn this connected world, the proliferation of intelligent devices has created a market for entirely new solutions based on Machine to Machine (M2M) connectivity. As intelligence spreads beyond devices to everyday things, this connectivity will play a crucial role in driving the broader vision of the Internet of Things (IoT). This will blur the boundaries between virtual and physical objects and enable seamless interconnectivity across devices, things and humans. Organizations are finding Figure 1. Oracle’s Internet of Things Platform The key to gaining real business value from IoT services is effective communication between all elements of the architecture. With an integrated, end-to-end platform it is possible to deploy applications faster, process and analyze data at lightning speeds and act on events as they occur. The Challenges Harnessing the Value of Fast Data. There are many opportunities to extract value from the data generated in the connected world, but the rapid growth in the number of intelligent devices presents many challenges, and has a significant impact on the architecture of IoT services. End-to-end security. Valuable data must always be protected, from the data center to the network’s edge, while still being instantly available to users. Integration with IT systems and applications. To maximize the value of data it must be accessible across critical operational systems, from ERP and CRM, to specialized custom and vertical applications. Data management and analysis. Massive quantities of structured and unstructured data must be securely stored, processed and analyzed. Rapid change. Device chipsets evolve far quicker than server technologies, so any IoT architecture
