Architectural patterns
in an
IoT stack

At a high level this is the general IoT stack

Breaking down the
IoT stack

Websites ( e.g., appliances, touch
console etc.)

IoT Stack: Devices / Things
Sensors
Hardware / Firmware

Devices: Many chipsets / platforms to choose from.
( Becoming more and more vertically integrated with
software stacks).
Big focus on prototyping:
Lots of tools to cater to the makers and tinkerers
Integrated SDKs to speed development, testing and optimization.

like this from many vendors )

IoT Stack: Device Edge
Key charter is to establish and maintain a

secure, robust, fault-tolerant connection
between the cloud and the edge devices in
order to:
•  Collect and aggregate device data
•  Manage the device
Device Device

Hardware / Firmware

Typically a combination of a localized gateway, and a
cloud based gateway, at the edge
Reference capabilities for a gateway
Enable scalable, real-time, dependable, high-

performance and interoperable data and

Aggregation Transformation Provisioning

Device, and Device gateway sprawl is going to be a challenge
Too many disparate

ecosystems. Too
many gateways,
hubs, protocols, apps.
Solution to the sprawl: A hub of all hubs
Need interoperability
between devices/
machines so they can
all talk to each other.
Solution to the sprawl: A hub of all hubs
IoT Stack: Data management and
intelligence
Data Management and Intelligence

Capabilities required for Data Management and
Intelligence
•  Data collection, storage, and analysis of sensor data

•  Run rules on data streams
•  Trigger alerts
•  Advanced analytics/machine learning
•  Expose HTTP (REST) APIs
