Open Source versus Closed Source in IOT in IOT
- 1. • Climbing into the Cloud • Open Source versus Closed Source @omega.teched OMega TechEd Thinking About Prototyping
- 2. Climbing into the Cloud "Climbing into the cloud" in IoT (Internet of Things) means connecting everyday devices, like smart home gadgets, sensors, or wearable tech, to the internet and using cloud-based services to store, analyze, and process the data they collect. This allows devices to work together more efficiently, perform tasks remotely, and provide real-time insights. OMega TechEd
- 3. Open Source Open source in IoT refers to using freely available, modifiable, and shareable software, hardware, and standards in the development and operation of IoT devices and systems. Example: Linux, Apache HTTP Server, Mozilla Firefox, MySQL, LibreOffice OMega TechEd
- 4. Advantages of Open Source OMega TechEd Cost Effective Flexibility Transparency Community Support Security Interoperability
- 5. Disadvantages of Open Source OMega TechEd Lack of Official support Complexity Compatibility Issues Limited features Security risks No warranty
- 6. Closed Source OMega TechEd Closed source in IoT refers to technology such as software, hardware, or platforms, where the source code or design details are not publicly available. This means that users cannot see, modify, or distribute the underlying code. Example: Microsoft Windows, macOS, Oracle Solaris, Adobe photoshop, Google Chrome

- 9. Open-Source vs Closed-Source Open Source • Source code is publicly available and can be inspected, modified, and distributed. • Community-driven support; professional support may be limited or optional. • Transparency can help identify and fix vulnerabilities; however, it can also expose potential risks. Closed Source • Source code is proprietary and not accessible to users. • Usually comes with dedicated, professional support and services. • Code is hidden, which can protect against external threats but may also hide vulnerabilities.

- 10. Open-Source vs Closed-Source Open Source • Highly flexible and adaptable to various use cases. • Updates are managed by the community or contributors and can be frequent. • Less dependency on a single provider; easier to switch or integrate with other solutions. Closed Source • Less flexible; changes are dependent on the vendor's development. • Updates and patches are provided by the vendor, often on a scheduled basis. • High dependency on the vendor; switching can be challenging and costly.

- 11. Conclusion OMega TechEd The choice between open source and closed source depends on your specific needs. Open source is ideal if you value customization, transparency, and cost-effectiveness, making it great for developers and those who need flexibility. On the other hand, closed source is better suited for situations where you need reliable support, stability, and a polished, integrated product, making it a preferred choice for businesses that require a more controlled and professional environment. Ultimately, the best option depends on your priorities and the nature of your project or organization.
