WhatisaIoTplatform
 IoT platforms are collections of tools and services
— To deal with IoT systems’ needs
— They have standard ways to connect heterogeneous IoT end-devices
— They provide standard APIs to allow data to flow in
—Scalable: they provide storage and servers to deal with billions of devices a
nd trillions of messages sent per hour
— You pay what you use, and you can easily integrate new resources
—They provide powerful data enrichment, analysis and AI tools fully integrated
and easy to apply with a few clicks (not a deep programming capability required
).
— Powerful data dashboards and analysis (also visual dashboards) tools
—Possibility to integrate other tools and platforms to realize even more extende
d functions
— And more...
