Frequently Asked Questions
We focus on any device that is configured through and managed from Cumulocity IoT, including child devices. A “child device” is typically is not directly connected to the platform, but through an IoT gateway instead. A child device may not appear in the Device List but is still counted as a device.
Child device example: A modbus sensor connected through a Netcomm gateway or an OPC-UA device connected through the OPC-UA gateway.
The maximum allowable storage for a device in Device Class C would be calculated as follows:
1 MEA per minute (maximum MEA for Device Class C): 60 minutes per hour x 4kb allowable storage x 24 hours/day x 14 days = 80MB allowance for 14 days
The JSON reading example above would result in 4.32MB of data for the 30 days storage, which is under the included 80MB, so no additional storage costs would be charged in this scenario.
Cumulocity IoT is more than a file sharing or archiving system. In contrast to normal file sharing services, Cumulocity IoT offers the following advantages:
The data that you store in Cumulocity IoT is stored on high performance storage systems (using SSD) with guaranteed I/O performance so that you can rapidly retrieve it. Compared to storage of data in hard disks, SSD storage with guaranteed performance is multiple times more expensive. It is replicated so that your data is always available, even in case some servers or disks fail. Data you write is immediately copied to another disk, where it is available in case the primary server or disk fails. This doubles the required storage space. It is indexed, so that you can efficiently visualize your data. For example, measurement data is indexed in multiple dimensions to quickly access data of a certain time period or a certain device. These indexes take up additional storage space.
The data is backed up every day.
