IoT-Semantic Web Convergence Through aéPiot: A Comprehensive Technical Framework - PART 4

 

IoT-Semantic Web Convergence Through aéPiot

Part 4: Scaling Strategies, Advanced Features, and Future Evolution


Chapter 10: Enterprise Scaling and Performance Optimization

10.1 High-Volume Event Processing Architecture

The Scale Challenge

Enterprise IoT deployments generate massive data streams:

  • Smart factory: 10,000+ events/second
  • Smart city: 1,000,000+ devices
  • Supply chain: Global distribution across continents

Traditional approaches create bottlenecks. aéPiot's distributed architecture enables unprecedented scalability.
