Storage

So far, we have seen how data originates in a sensor and how the controller reads the data using one of the supported protocols. The controller attempts to transmit that data over any of the communication protocols to the Device Management Software.

Now the data is in the cloud. The basic functionality of connecting the real world with the virtual world ends here and the next level of data processing begins from here.

Storage is a very big part of the IoT Stack that we discussed earlier. The database needs to be scalable, highly available, flexible, secure, fast, and highly optimized to process thousands of reads/writes per second.

Here are a few options for storage software.
