Industrial Internet Needs Middleware

• What?– Middleware is a layer between

application and network stack– It presents a more powerful API

to the application– It handles connections, failures,

changes

• Why?– Simpler conceptual model– Easier programming– Seamless interoperability– Control communications

“Quality of Service” (QoS)

Example: Asset Tracking System

Legacy Capability:• 500K lines of code• 8 yrs to develop• 21 servers• Achieved: 20K tracked

updates/sec, reliability and uptime challenges

Next-Gen Capability:• 50K lines of code—order

of magnitude less• 1 yr to develop—8x less• 1 laptop—20x less• Achieved: 250K+ tracked

updates/sec, no single point of failure
