A cloud backend for an IoT solution can be based on public, private, or hybrid cloud. The backend may only need a single connection to a device in order to enable telemetry data upload, or it may need tighter integration to provide device management, firmware updates, or advanced diagnostics and debug functions. The device may be connected with the cloud directly over the public Internet or it can use a gateway to enable cloud integration. The device can also use more fragmented approach where it may be integrated with different backbends for control and data functions.
Siemens Embedded IoT solution provides flexibility to integrate devices to support various cloud backend configurations.
