UNIFIED IoT CLOUD/EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEM
- - -Considering that the same codebase is deployed on the edge gateway and in the cloud,
-
Mainflux Labs unifies the IoT platform implementation over edge-fog-cloud continuum.
-
-
Deploying, managing and maintaining a unified platform is much easier, than
-
keeping track of several different platforms (one for gateway, one for fog datacenter,
-
one for cloud) that together make an IoT system.
-
-
For the full functionality, special middleware connectors are created both on
-
the IoT Platform and IoT Edge Gateway side and additional original application
-
with user-interface for the control and management of the whole IIoT System.
-
-
- Mainflux IoT Platform acts as remote control of the IoT Edge Gateway, management, storage,
-
advanced, analytics and learning, acting as meta-instance of more immediate processing data needs.
-
-
-
Deployed on a gateway, Mainflux is used to accept various end device connections that talk different
-
protocols (devices connected to a gateway), authenticate and authorize them, encrypt the communication,
-
distribute messages furtheror even store them locally on the gateway in dedicated lightweight databases.

UNIFIED CLOUD/EDGE ARCHITECTURE
+
+ The MFX-1 gateway shares the same codebase with Mainflux cloud platform, creating
+ a unified IoT implementation across the edge-fog-cloud continuum for simplified deployment
+ and management compared to maintaining separate platform instances.
+
+
+ The Mainflux IoT Platform serves as the centralized management system for edge gateways,
+ providing remote control, advanced analytics, and long-term data storage capabilities.
+ When deployed on gateways, Mainflux handles device connectivity across multiple protocols,
+ implements security through authentication and encryption, and enables local data processing
+ with lightweight database storage when needed.
