Answer

  • DataHub enables northbound cloud connectivity. Use DataHub to send edge-level data securely to LoopCloud.
  • DataHub enables local connections to the cloud using the MQTT protocol. DataHub buffers the data and if the connection drops out, no data is ever lost. DataHub enables Voice of the Machine Edge to run offline, but can push all offline data to the cloud once an internet connection is established. This helps in situations where network connectivity is not always reliable. 
  • The capacity of the data is limited by the hardware footprint and the data is discarded on a first-in first-out basis. To visualize these connections: Use Voice of the Machine Edge Flows to Visualize Data Flows.
