New reelyActiveTM Pareto Anywhere for Azure and
Aruba IoT Transport for Azure Together Enable Native Azure
Applications to Consume BLE, EnOcean, and Other IoT Data Streamed
from Aruba Wi-Fi Access Points
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), and
reelyActive today announced a new open-source data converter for
Microsoft Azure that enables IoT device data that is securely
streamed from Aruba Wi-Fi access points (APs) to be used by
Microsoft Power BI and other Azure applications. Used in
conjunction with Aruba’s IoT Transport for Microsoft Azure,
reelyActive’s Pareto Anywhere for Azure open-source converter
reformats data and units of measurement like temperature and power
to be compatible with Azure applications without custom
engineering, significantly lowering the cost and time required
using conventional integration methods.

Microsoft Azure without custom engineering (Graphic: Business

Integrating data from legacy IoT devices with IoT cloud services
can entail months of custom engineering. There are dozens of IoT
protocols and non-interoperable physical layers with which to
contend, and it is cost prohibitive to replace or retrofit legacy
devices with new cloud-native software. This is because data from
non-IP based IoT devices need to be securely streamed and
terminated in a form optimized for use with Azure IoT applications,
a task that may require an expensive gateway. Once received at the
Azure IoT Hub, all of the IoT payloads need to be separately
formatted for use by Azure IoT applications. If, at a later date,
another IoT protocol needs to be supported, then the process starts
anew. The integration process can take months, and the cost,
complexity, and security vulnerability of hardware gateways can
make the economics challenging.
Aruba, Microsoft, and reelyActive have addressed these issues.
Aruba added IoT radios to its Wi-Fi APs to simultaneously serve IT
mobility needs and act as IoT gateways. Next, Aruba and Microsoft
jointly developed Aruba IoT Transport for Azure, which when
activated by Aruba Central cloud management will encode IoT device
data from Aruba Wi-Fi APs into an Azure IoT Hub compatible format,
specifically a base64 string that is encapsulated in a JavaScript
Object Notation (JSON).
“IoT Transport for Microsoft Azure transforms any Aruba IT
network into a secure Azure gateway that lands at the Azure IoT
Hub,” said Michael Tennefoss, Aruba’s Vice President of IoT and
Strategic Partnerships. “The beauty of the design is that customers
can send BLE, EnOcean Alliance, and similar data from legacy or new
IoT devices directly to Azure, without adding any gateway hardware
or parallel network infrastructure. If business needs change
tomorrow, or next year, then new IoT devices can be incorporated,
additively, without ripping or replacing any IT
infrastructure.”
To complete the migration, reelyActive’s new Pareto Anywhere for
Azure open-source converter quickly and efficiently decodes the
base64 strings, including units of measurement. Pareto Anywhere for
Azure abstracts the original data format so that the data seen by
applications are intelligible, consistent streams of immediately
consumable data in recognizable units of measurement. The
converter’s abstraction function allows customers to deploy hybrid
IoT systems, consisting of different IoT device types and
protocols, because all of the data appear in a homogeneous format
regardless of their origin.
“The expertise we’ve embedded into this solution allows
organizations to achieve in an hour what often required months of
custom engineering,” said Jeffrey Dungen, reelyActive’s co-founder
and CEO. “Pareto Anywhere for Microsoft Azure can be deployed from
GitHub in a few simple steps to process the data stream from IoT
Transport for Azure, which itself can be enabled on-the-fly. Beyond
that, customers can tap into our expertise to further accelerate
adoption and application towards their specific objectives,
leveraging the reelyActive team on-demand as an extension of their
own, through a convenient subscription model.”
IoT Transport for Azure and Pareto Anywhere for Azure are
intended for use by resellers, system integrators, and end
customers that want to quickly, easily, and cost effectively
migrate workloads to Azure. The solution is horizontally applicable
across a broad range of use cases and vertical markets, and not
limited to one application or locale. Furthermore, since Pareto
Anywhere for Azure is open-source software, reseller and customer
engineers can add new device types and functionality to the benefit
of the Azure community.
“Used in tandem, IoT Transport for Microsoft Azure and Pareto
Anywhere for Azure will significantly cut the time required to
migrate IoT workloads to Azure,” said Tony Shakib, Microsoft’s
General Manager Azure Light Edge and IoT. “Equally important, they
provide the foundation for a new class of pre-built Azure
Marketplace visualization, control, monitoring, predictive
maintenance, and alerting applications that customers will
subscribe to on-demand as easily as they buy Microsoft 365
today.”
