ITTIA's M2M solution offers embedded system developers an easy way to connect applications and communicate information. For example, a home automation application can monitor the cycle of a washing machine, schedule a coffee machine to finish brewing at a specific time, and check that lights are off when away from home. Residents need to access and control information on these devices through multiple interfaces, whether mounted in the home or on a personal smart phone or tablet. A database for such devices must provide a framework for communication within the M2M infrastructure. ITTIA DB SQL's M2M solution connects databases across systems, handling data exchange and high availability for the application. It is an ideal database for M2M data management, with redundant copies continuously maintained so that data is always available and devices can always wake up and communicate. Since ITTIA DB SQL is a cross-platform technology, any combination of hardware and operating system software can be used to create redundancy, and applications embedded with ITTIA DB greatly benefit from this flexibility.
