Case study of IIoT cloud platforms
Secured management of an IIoT system involves many moving parts. This leads to complexity requiring domain expertise in multiple disciplines, high cost of development and integration, and a very long time to market. To mitigate this difficult terrain, many cloud platform providers have expanded their portfolio beyond centralized data analytics to include end-to-end services specific to Industrial IoT workloads. In collaboration with their ecosystem partners, the CSPs are able to offer a service set that includes zero-touch provisioning at the scale of millions of IoT devices, device management, physical WAN connectivity using cellular and fixed lines, VPN-based edge to cloud connectivity, single billing, and so on. In this section, readers can review three IoT-specific cloud platforms AWS IoT, Azure IoT, and Predix from GE Digital to gain real-world insights into cloud-based security architectures and services.
