Cloud computing infrastructure renders benefits such as scalability, enhanced performance, and pay-as-you-go (PAYG) service to the IIoT market. Additionally, the demand for low-cost data storage, backup, and data protection are monumental challenges for small & medium enterprises (SMEs). Cloud computing also offers self-service provisioning and automatic de-provisioning, application program…

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)  s a system that integrates complex machines with high-end software programs and sensors for analyzing data to increase productivity and reduce operational time and costs. IIoT systems differs from Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Failure in IIoT systems would lead to disastrous situations where as in IoT systems the failure would barely lead to emergency situations. IoT systems are designed at consumer level device such…
