The IoT cloud platforms

The term IoT cloud platform is used for the cloud platforms that provide very specific services, protocol support, and web-based tools for IoT applications. In more informal terms, these cloud IoT platforms can be used to upload your sensor data and access them from anywhere using the Internet. With these basic features, they also provide tools to access, visualize, and process your sensor data on various platforms such as computers and smartphones. Examples of similar IoT cloud platforms include Xively (http://www.xively.com), 2lemetry (http://www.2lemetry.com), Carriots (http://www.carriots.com), ThingSpeak (http://thingspeak.com), and so on.

The following figure shows the architecture of an IoT system with an Arduino-based sensor system that is sending data to a cloud platform, while a computation unit is accessing the data remotely from the cloud:

Xively, being the oldest and most popular IoT platform, has a large amount of community-based online help that is available...

Pratik Desai

Pratik Desai, PhD, is the Principal Scientist and cofounder of a connected devices start-up, Imbue Labs, where he develops scalable and interoperable architecture for wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms during the day. At night, he leads the development of an open source IoT initiative, the Semantic Repository of Things. Pratik has 8 years of research and design experience in various layers of the IoT and its predecessor technologies such as wireless sensor networks, RFID, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. His domains of expertise are the IoT, Semantic Web, machine learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Pratik completed his MS and PhD from Wright State University, Ohio, and collaborated with the Ohio Center of Excellence in Knowledge-enabled Computing (Kno.e.sis) during his doctoral research. His doctoral research was focused on developing situation awareness frameworks for IoT devices, enabling semantic web-based reasoning and handling the uncertainty associated with sensor data. In his personal life, Pratik is an avid DIY junkie and likes to get hands-on experience on upcoming technologies. He extensively expresses his views on technology and shares interesting developments on Twitter (@chheplo).
