Trends
Our world is filling with devices
but this isn t just about scale My phone only talked to other phones It sent data to others when I asked it to My phone can connect to almost anything It shares and receives information automatically What will replace it? Who will it talk to? Mobile phone companies led the market Computer & content companies drive the market What companies will lead??
and this isn t just about connecting people We are building systems of systems Latest generation car: 100 electronic controllers 10 million lines of code Its own IP address Developed in 29 months General Motors - 2011 Chevy Volt http://ibm.co/btsi5c
and this isn t just about instrumentation Most of today s edge connectivity follows a similar pattern Devices collect data for central processing Decisions are made centrally and pushed out to devices Central control systems Gateways Collectors Devices What if we start adding intelligence throughout the network?

Universal Connectivity: Messaging from IBM The Internet of Things A central nervous system of smart devices Decentralized intelligence and control A huge distributed store of rapidly changing data Human and environment interactions driving webs of machine to machine (M2M) communications
How did the Internet of computers form? Whether cause or effect, interoperability was key Data transmission standards (Ethernet etc.) Addressing standards (IP, DNS, URI etc.) Discovery and routing standards (RIP etc.) Transport standards (TCP, UDP etc.) Data standards (HTTP, SMTP, POP etc.)
Why isn t HTTP enough? The HTTP standard revolutionized how people consume data A single simple model: Send a request, read the response Available via any tablet, laptop, phone, PC etc. The Internet of Things has fundamentally different challenges HTTP remains ideal for requesting data from a known source We also need an event-oriented paradigm: Emitting information one to many Listening for events whenever they happen Distributing minimal packets of data in huge volumes Pushing information over unreliable networks
Additional comms challenges for Mobile and M2M apps Volume (cost) of data being transmitted (especially in M2M with limited data plans) Power consumption (battery powered devices) Responsiveness (near-real time delivery of information) Reliable delivery over fragile connections Security and privacy Scalability
MQTT in a Nutshell MQTT == MQ Telemetry Transport An open royalty free light weight event and message oriented protocol allowing devices to asynchronously communicate in an efficient manner across constrained networks to remote systems

MQTT designed for edge of the network connectivity Open Open royalty free spec designed for the world of devices Wide variety of clients and servers Hobbyist to enterprise Open source to commercial Reliable Three qualities of service: 0 at most once delivery 1 assured delivery but may be duplicated 2 once and once only delivery In-built constructs to support loss of contact between client and server. Last will and testament to publish a message if the client goes offline. Stateful roll-forward semantics and durable subscriptions. Lean Minimized on-the-wire format Smallest possible packet size is 2 bytes No application message headers Scalable Reduced complexity/footprint Clients: C=30Kb; Java=100Kb Simple Simple / minimal pub/sub messaging semantics Asynchronous ( push ) delivery Simple set of verbs -- connect, publish, subscribe and disconnect.

Introducing IBM MessageSight
Introducing the IBM MessageSight appliance Extends the IBM Messaging family with a secure, easy to deploy appliance-based messaging server Optimized to address the massive scale requirements of machine to machine (m2m) and mobile use cases Exploits hardware acceleration for performance Designed to sit at the edge of the enterprise Can extend your existing messaging infrastructure or be used standalone Complements WebSphere MQ - provides an offload/accelerator for edge of enterprise scenarios
IBM MessageSight: Massive Scale One appliance can handle Massive Scale Orders of Magnitude Improvements 1M concurrent connections For instance, one appliance can handle all the cars circulating in Manhattan in a day 13M non-persistent msg/sec Allows massive fan-out streaming of data 400K persistent msg/sec When assured delivery matters Predictable latency in the microseconds under load Quick response time for end user These numbers refer to specific scenarios. For more details, please read our detailed performance report
IBM MessageSight: Developer-friendly Developer Friendly Simple Programming Model Simple yet powerful APIs consistent across multiple platforms Simple paradigm: connect, subscribe, publish Promotes loosely coupled and scalable applications Support for JavaScript, C and Java APIs Apps can be HTML5 web apps, native or hybrid Programming models: MQTT: efficient pub/sub protocol designed for M2M, mobile and web Java Messaging Service (JMS): Point-to-point & pub-sub over high speed protocol Active development community on developerworks http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/connect/ibmmessaging Cloud-based demo systems for rapid prototyping
IBM MessageSight: Secure and Reliable Secure and Reliable Hardened Appliance Form Factor Secure firmware (signed and encrypted by IBM) No user-visible, general purpose OS DMZ Ready Appliance Fine-grained Messaging Policies SSL / TLS (including FIPS 140-2) Authentication Deny-based access control Various options for Quality of Service including Assured delivery Highly available (without shared resources)
IBM MessageSight: Optimized for Mobile networks Optimized for Wireless Clients m2m and Mobile Efficient MQTT messaging protocol that is faster, requires less bandwidth and less battery than traditional http Is open and industry agnostic Event oriented paradigm allows for better customer experience Listen / Subscribe for events Events pushed when they happen Improved Response Time
IBM MessageSight: Easy to Integrate Easy to Integrate Open Standards Compatible with a variety of environments JMS support for Java Standard Edition (JSE) environments WebSockets support for Rich Internet Applications Open MQTT protocol with many open source clients Built-in Connectivity with WebSphere MQ One appliance can connect to multiple WebSphere MQ queue managers IBM Integration Bus support New patterns for mobile use cases Integrates easily with IBM Worklight
IBM MessageSight: Easy to Deploy Goal is to be up and running in 30 minutes Task oriented UI guides administrator through the first steps Simple and scalable management through policies
Where might you use it? Where there is a need for: reliable asynchronous transactions, continuous streamed updates, notification and data collection
