This document introduces IBM MessageSight, a product for connecting mobile devices and internet of things devices. It is designed to handle high volumes of messages from millions of connected devices using less bandwidth than HTTP. Key features include massive scale to support over 1 million devices, optimized connectivity for wireless clients using MQTT protocol, security as a hardened appliance, and integration with other IBM products. Use cases discussed include connected vehicles, homes and cities.

- 4. What’s Unique about Mobile Applications? Expectations are high, loyalty is low – Access patterns and volumes are less predictable – – – Immediate response expected from mobile applications Security is a paramount concern – For example user location information is available to potentially be utilised Performance expectation – Mobile apps are written, used & replaced at a far higher rate than traditional enterprise applications Mobile devices & platforms themselves evolve rapidly Provide unique context insights and thereby unique opportunities – More service calls from mobile devices, potentially more users, at anytime Short & focused interactions, interruptions are common Apps still need to be usable when out of wireless coverage Rapid refresh rates – – Reliability and usability matter! If your application doesn’t function reliably each & every time users invoke it and it’s easy to use, they will find another app & another business to deal with Mobility of devices makes them easier to steal or spoof Bandwidth and battery life are at a premium – Need to minimize back and forth communications © 2012 IBM Corporation 4
- 5. You need to connect using more than just HTTP The HTTP standard revolutionized how we consume data – A single simple model: Send a request, read the response – Available via any tablet, laptop, phone, PC etc. Mobile and the Internet of Things applications have additional challenges – HTTP remains ideal for requesting data from a known source • Mobile user requesting info – But we also need an event-oriented paradigm: • Emitting information one to many • Listening for events whenever they happen • Distributing minimal packets of data in huge volumes • Pushing information over unreliable networks • Reliably completing mobile business transactions © 2012 IBM Corporation 5
- 6. What is IBM MessageSight? Its an appliance It is designed to handle the growing “Internet of Things”/M2M economy It leverages a lightweight messaging protocol – MQTT Facebook messenger app use MQTT and has 850+ million users Why MQTT? – it uses less bandwidth and battery power than HTTP Designed to sit at the edge of the enterprise in the DMZ Can’t be hacked! No user changeable OS, totally encrypted Fewer firewall ports to open Scales – 1 million concurrently connected devices supported Handles millions messages a second © 2007, 2008 IBM Corporation
