State of the Art M2M/IoT Solutions

M2M Evolution: Closing the Gap between IT and OT

Las Vegas, 8.11.2014

Jon Woodland

Director of Cloud Solutions

IT/OT Gap Overview• Information Technology (IT)

– Providing data for corporate decision making and support of corporate

business process

– Homogenous architecture to allow readiness, pervasiveness and cost containment.

– Rapid adoption to new computing trends

– Virtualization => Internet => Cloud => Mobility => BYOD

• Operational Technology (OT)

– Providing data and control to operationally transform products and services

– Task Oriented – specific purpose -

– Highly customized service specific systems designed to specific assets

– Silos of proprietary architectures specific because to task

• IT/OT Integration –

– Nature of OT is changing.

– Devices are increasing becoming multiservice end points serving multiple

applications

– Need to learn from best practices in IT

The Internet of ThingsArchitectural Approach for more effective M2M Solutions

What needs to be done:

• Flexible, IT centric M2M hardware & software platforms

• Decoupling of consumers and producers of data

• Single flexible & manageable M2M infrastructure

But …

• “Minimal-invasive” approach

• Integrating legacy systems, preserving investments

• Reduce cost (WAN, cellular, implementation, operations)
