IoT architecture must be designed to respect this fact …

… to find the ratio between effective connections and the need for CLOUD and the need for EDGE

• The true IoT digital ecosystem will be less and less dependent on and, in fact, ecosystem design will rely heavily on the potential for effective synergies between the edge layer and the cloud layer. You really need to look for the optimal ratio between the edges and cloud computing. All of this is a natural view, but a crucial detail to be an integral part of the industry’s ability to commercialize the entire Internet of Things industry in the near future, and the obstacle to its massive development is its inability to create interconnection and interoperability at the EDGE layer.
• Properly designed state-of-the-art technology enables interoperability at the EDGE layer and, more importantly, IoT systems must have the ability to complement and, above all, effectively support older, popular and established systems. These existing systems and deployments were largely ignored, with current players relying on a “pull out and replace” mentality that has dominated and greatly plagued the IT industry since the beginning of the IoT era.
