27. M2M Integration Platform
What is Everyware Cloud?
• Everyware Cloud is about Device Data, about M2M: It has been built
from ground-up to provide an infrastructure that is specialized in
optimum device data comunication, collection, analysis and
management.
• It is an Integration Platform: Everyware Cloud is designed to act as an
intermediate system between the distributed devices and the
applications making use of the data coming from these devices. Any
communication certainly is two-way in nature allowing also applications
to control and manage the devices when required.
• Everyware Cloud is conceptually like an Operating System for the
Internet of Things enabling the transfer of device data independent of
any other language, platform or OS to and from Enterprise applications

29. M2M Integration Platform
iPaaS Generic Gartner Definition & Everyware Cloud
Everyware Cloud is offered as a M2M integration Platform as a Service
(iPaaS) to customers …. allowing a much simplified integration of distributed
devices with business applications.
In the enterprise IT world Gartner has introduced the concept of iPaaS (integration
Platform as a Service) as one specific category within the PaaS offerings.
Everyware Cloud is in that very sense a M2M Integration Platform, specifically
designed to provide “the glue” for IoT or M2M solutions between the distributed
systems in the field and the enterprise application and management world. The
distributed device “network” is one end of an integration flow, the enterprise
application the other.
Besides optimal Device data management it is the management of the
distributed M2M devices with their software / services throughout their
complete lifecycle that is an important aspect of the platform’s functionality.

Everyware Cloud: The M2M Integration Platform
•
Everyware Cloud is based on many of the same concepts found in
enterprise integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions but uses
because of its special design focus different, for the purpose optimal M2M
technology and protocols.
•
Everyware Cloud provides the functional elements for customers to
perform the appropriate message transformation, message routing, protocol
conversions, data normalization, service virtualization, tracking, accounting,
administration, monitoring and management of the M2M (distributed
device) solutions. This approach includes the platform and its provided
services as well ass the attached assets and their connections).
•
Generic and device and protocol specific adapters allow simplified
integration of intelligent devices and legacy M2M solutions / protocols.
These adapters consist of functional elements (software building blocks) that
can / have to be partly implemented / provided on the remote asset / x
