The large majority of commercial IoT platforms target consumer applications and fall short in addressing the requirements characteristic of Industrial IoT. Vortex has always focused on addressing the challenges characteristic of Industrial IoT systems and with 2.4 release sets a the a new standard! This presentation will (1) introduce the new features introduced in with Vortex 2.4, (2) explain how Vortex 2.4 addresses the requirements of Industrial Internet of Things application better than any other existing platform, and (3)showcase how innovative companies are using Vortex for building leading edge Industrial Internet of Things applications.

DDS is widely used for
horizontal (east-to-west)
communication on the
Control and
Information Layers
But it is applicable for
horizontal across any

The IIC and Industrie4.0
have mapped the

DDS has applicability
across the 6 IT levels
For the SCADA and the life-
cycle, DDS’ applicability
depends on the
constraints of the device
DDS-XRCE will bring
connectivity to extremely
small devices, i.e. at most
100KB of RAM

securely and efficiently
extend DDS systems to
Internet Scale
Vortex Infrastructure

22. CopyrightPrismTech,2017
Vortex Fog is an elastic and fault-
tolerant software appliance that
transparently draws a boundary
around a subsystem to control and
adapt QoS and transports, e.g. from
UDP/IP m-casts to TCP/IP, and
information flow
Vortex Fog also minimises discovery
traffic while maintaining interoperability
and dynamic matching
Vortex Fog

23. CopyrightPrismTech,2017
Vortex Cloud is a elastic, fault-tolerant,
multi-data-centre, and IaaS independent
“Cloud Messaging” implementation of DDS
Vortex Cloud be used to transparently
integrate systems that can’t directly talk
with each other because of NAT/FIREWALLS
It can be used for as a very high performance
Private Cloud Messaging as an alternative
to Amazon SMS, SQS, or Azure Service Bus
Vortex Cloud

24. CopyrightPrismTech,2017
Vortex Fog and Vortex
Cloud can be composed on
a generic graph topology
to achieve the required
scale.
Vortex Cloud and Vortex
Fog are to DDS what IP-

are to IP
