Sustainability Secured IoT Solutions

After dabbling in IoT for the past 5 years, MaCh eX has faced many ups and downs. We have our wins and our losses. One thing we do know is that IoT is the future, it is the future because it is not just the next buzzword. It is the future because it is the only technology today that will propel us to a better lifestyle and assist us to a sustainable future. Yet, IoT is like a Wild west today where there is a amalgation of legacy protocol and a integration of new protocol. It is a world where different fields like electronics, electrical, Networking, Cloud technology, cybersecurity, has to be aligned for all of it to work together. In this world where there are so much focus of specialization, it seems that there are just too many hurdle to cross. And for those brave souls that have cro...

IoT Edge Computing – AWS IoT Greengrass vs Azure IoT Edge (Part 2)

In the previous article, we talked about what is AWS IoT Greengrass and how it can help business owners in their edge computing implementation. We will now look at Azure IoT Edge, which is a service that is similar to AWS IoT Greengrass, and compare between the two services. What is Azure IoT Edge? Note: Azure IoT Edge Version 1.2.0 is discussed here. Azure IoT Edge helps device owners to extend functionality to their edge devices. It also allows device owners to manage their device, either individually or in groups. Azure IoT Edge allows custom logics and cloud services to be pushed to the edge devices, allowing the system at the edge to operate as expected with or without connectivity to the cloud. Azure IoT Edge has a device runtime called Azure IoT Edge runtime as well as a c...

IoT Edge Computing – AWS IoT Greengrass vs Azure IoT Edge (Part 1)

Introduction Over the years, edge computing for Internet of Things (IoT) systems has become more prevalent due to reasons such as low latency, better control over security, cost savings, and greater reliability. Many companies in the industry has came up with services and tools to help organizations to effectively and reliably implement edge computing. As an IoT solutions provider, MaCh eX has considered and tested different edge computing services that can provide most value to the clients. In this article series, we will compare the edge computing software and infrastructure services provided by AWS IoT Greengrass (Version 2.1.0) and Azure IoT Edge (Version 1.2.0). In Part 1, we will talk about what is AWS IoT Greengrass and what role does it play in edge computing. ...
