Scalable Edge Computing Platform for IoT

®

[For End User] Use Case: IoT System to Detect MosquitoesDeploy IoT solutions quickly and easily at the edge with the flexibility to dynamically adapt to change

Use Cases Stories

[For Systems Integrator (SI)] Use Case: Smart City Solicitation WinNext generation edge platform with preset components combined with your own innovations

[For Cloud Services Provider] Use Case: Smart Edge PlatformPush cloud based algorithms, models, and features to the edge.

[For Independent Software Vendor (ISV)] Use Case: Edge Connectivity LayerInteroperate with 3rd party applications and hardware without reinventing connectivity

Business Models

Customer: Cloud IoT Platform provider

• Edge platform for Cloud services• Integrate easily into cloud products• Connectivity made easy

Why Cloud Service choose Interactor® Edge Platform?

Solution: Smart Edge Platform

Project Scope:

Challenges:

Why Interactor?:

Result:

• Provide cloud service features at the edge• Reduce data related cost by creating edge layer

• Lack of expertise in edge computing technologies• Time to market is critical. Development time with

existing resource too long• Lack of business models ideas in monetizing and

saving cost with edge computing

Cloud services become a lot more efficient by distributing compute to the edge. The newly established edge platform is able to expand with the new business models and adapt with the changing applications and hardware that become part of the ecosystem

• Provide universal edge computing platform for cloud services to extend its features• Easy to integrate into cloud service’s existing APIs• With footprint of around 50MB, cloud service can applied on any part of the infrastructure

CTO asks the Engineering Head, “how can we incorporate edge computing technology so we stay competitive?” Engineering Head answers with concern. “With current engineering resources, it would take many years”

Implementation PhasesPlatform becomes the universal connectivity layer to integrate with 3rd party applications and hardware

Phase 1Integrate into Cloud Infrastructure

Phase 2Optimize & Scale

Phase 3Diversify & New Business Models

• Integration with Cloud product portfolio

• Configure cloud features to the edge• Add support for 3rd party

applications and hardware

• Optimized product to drive new business opportunities

• Diversify service offerings

Edge Platform

(FUTURE PROOF)

Each new phase brings new business opportunity for cloud service provider

The product was released but the usage is low. The team needed to find a way to boost usage. Customers don’t have the engineers to code again your APIs. Adding new connectors to support customers takes time, each adding few weeks to develop.

Customer: IoT Visualization Solution

• Connectivity made easy• Integrate easily into ISV products• Platform for constant change and

improvement

Why ISVs choose Interactor® Edge Platform?

Solution: Edge Connectivity layer

For Independent Software Vendors (ISV)

Project Scope:

Challenges:

Why Interactor?:

Result:

Become universal connectivity layer for data visualization product

• ISV don’t have the engineering resources or time to build diverse connectivity

• Connectivity is not the core of the ISV business

Before using Interactor®, ISV product could only work with select 3rd party applications, with weeks of development effort to add new connections. After integrating Interactor®, ISV product became consumable by most connected applications and hardware.

• Many built-in connectivity. Easy to support new connectivity• Easy to integrate into ISV’s existing products• Support for both standard and custom protocol • Create new APIs and work with third-party APIs and SDKs

Phase 1Integrate into ISV product



• Integration with ISV product portfolio

• Add support for 3rd party applications and hardware

• Logic, analytics and control

• Optimized product to drive new business opportunities

• Diversify service offerings

(FUTURE PROOF)

Each new connection brings new business opportunity for ISVs

The solicitation was out and it was up to a few companies to put a winning proposal. In a winner takes all bid, proposal needs to appeal to the customer and provide cost and technology value beyond what’s readily available today.

Why SI choose Interactor® Edge Platform?

Solution: Edge Development Platform

For System Integrators (SI)

Project Scope:

Challenges:

Why Interactor?:

Result:

Build a Smart Street infrastructure with energy saving street lights integrated with sensors and devices.

• Uncertain plan, scope and equipment• Too many edge end points to manage• Too many protocols and data types to handle

Using Interactor®, SI could execute the project in phases where data was made available to the customer for analysis. With the data, customers saw ways to optimize the infrastructure and add new features, which led to new business models forming

• Edge platform to incrementally grow with requirements• Changes can be applied quickly within existing setup (minimal technical debt)

Panic was in the air when a dengue fever, a mosquito-related disease took over 200 lives in a year. The Government agency had to act fast and a solution had to be built in a month to combat mosquitoes from breeding.

End User: Government

• Expand with business models• Fast & Easy to Deploy• ROI higher with every Phase

Why customers choose Interactor® Edge Platform?

Solution: Edge as a Service

For End Users

Project Scope:

Challenges:

Why Interactor?:

Result:

Build system able to detect, monitor and manage breeding ground of mosquitos (fight for dengue fever)

• Experimental project requiring system to adapting with new learnings• Needs to be deployed and managed by end customer (security reasons)• Needs to be compliant with existing system for public health

Interactor® professional services personnel created the initial application for the end user while providing training to improve, expand and manage. End users were able to take and run the system within a month.

• Easy to use. Professional Service. Support all the protocols needed.• Can experiment new ideas with minimal change. Change takes effect at instant• Works with legacy system already in place.
