The Internet of Things

Deliver Better Technology Through Deeper Collaboration

What Is The Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things refers to the ever-growing network of Internet-enabled devices that can communicate with each other, with us, and more importantly, with a central system to deliver information.

IoT Applications and Security Concerns

Many devices that previously had no Internet access, and were therefore deemed as “secure” will now be accessible over the Internet and subject to new levels of vulnerabilities.
A hacker will always focus on the weakest link. Why attack a hardened firewall when there are weaker, more accessible smaller devices?
Challenges at the server end can also be significant. Firstly, the Internet of Things is expected to involve many connections, thousands, even millions concurrently connecting and securing data.
Considerations and compromises will need to be made between security, data loss prevention and performance to ensure a sound IoT strategy.

The Internet of Things and Application Delivery

The following considerations must be made for application delivery infrastructure in order to ensure a controlled and secure process for IoT connections.

Can your application delivery platform:

Handle millions of concurrent connections
Check server health at application level
Provide authentication
Provide encryption
Traffic manipulation
Prevent too many connections on backend systems
Process server draining

IoT Applications and Edgenexus

Advanced load balancers, or Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) are full Layer 7 devices, it can read the content of both the requests and responses sent.

It’s even possible to change the content of the message based on a condition. For example:

							
					IF 
the Source of the connection is in Germany 
THEN
Append the message with location=Germany
ELSE send the request to a different internal server

In addition to this capability the Edgenexus load balancer provides full logging and reporting on the performance of the systems and the load, including the number of connections and throughput.
All of this can be managed via the intuitive web based management console or by the well documented REST API.
Edgenexus Load balancer will provide the scalability and flexibility to operate a secure, always-on IoT Infrastructure.
