Cloud IoT Core private BETA
A fully managed service to easily and securely connect, manage, and ingest data from globally dispersed devices
SIGN UP FOR PRIVATE BETA READ LAUNCH BLOG POSTSecure device connection and management
Cloud IoT Core is a fully managed service that allows you to easily and securely connect, manage, and ingest data from millions of globally dispersed devices. Cloud IoT Core, in combination with other services on Google Cloud IoT platform, provides a complete solution for collecting, processing, analyzing, and visualizing IoT data in real time to support improved operational efficiency.
Make informed decisions at Global Scale
Cloud IoT Core, using Cloud Pub/Sub underneath, can aggregate dispersed device data into a single global system that integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud data analytics services. Use your IoT data stream for advanced analytics, visualizations, machine learning and more to help you improve operational efficiency, anticipate problems, and build rich models that better describe and optimize your business.
Securely connect your existing device network
Securely connect a few or millions of your globally dispersed devices through protocol endpoints that use automatic load balancing and horizontal scaling to ensure smooth data ingestion under any condition. Cloud IoT Core supports the standard MQTT protocol, so you can use your existing devices with minimal firmware changes. Google Cloud IoT Core runs on Google’s serverless infrastructure, which scales automatically in response to real-time changes and adheres to stringent industry-standard security protocols that protect your business data.
Establish two-way communication with your devices
Bring device data into your everyday business through a secure, intelligent, and responsive IoT data pipeline created by Google Cloud IoT Core. Rely on the intelligence of Android Things to push out automatic firmware updates, or easily push your own device updates with Cloud IoT Core.
Get straight to work
Centrally manage your entire IoT data network from a single pane of glass. Cloud IoT Core works out of the box with millions of Android Things devices and other devices from leading hardware manufacturers. You can easily reduce capital expenditures on your IoT projects and maintenance costs with a pay-as-you-go service.
Cloud IoT Partners
Google Cloud Platform partners have built hardware, software, and innovative solutions that seamlessly connect the world of devices to Google Cloud Platform through the Cloud IoT Core service.
CLOUD IoT CORE FEATURES
Cloud IoT Core has two main components: a device manager and a protocol bridge.
Device Manager
The device manager allows individual devices to be configured and managed securely in a coarse-grained way; management can be done through a console or programmatically. The device manager establishes the identity of a device, and provides the mechanism for authenticating a device when connecting. It also maintains a logical configuration of each device and can be used to remotely control the device from the cloud.
Protocol Bridge
The protocol bridge provides connection endpoints for protocols with automatic load balancing for all device connections. The protocol bridge has native support for secure connection over MQTT, an industry-standard IoT protocol. The protocol bridge publishes all device telemetry to Cloud Pub/Sub, which can then be consumed by downstream analytic systems.
- End-to-end security
- Enable end-to-end security using certificate-based authentication and TLS 1.2; devices running Android Things or supporting the Cloud IoT Core security requirements can deliver full-stack security.
- Single global system
- Connect all devices to Google Cloud over standard protocols, such as MQTT, through the protocol endpoints and manage all your devices as a single global system. The service uses Cloud Pub/Sub underneath, which retains data for 7 days.
- Out-of-box data insights
- Use downstream analytic systems by integrating with Google Big Data Analytics and ML services such as Dataflow, BigQuery, Bigtable, ML, Data Studio, or partner BI tools.
- Fully managed and scalable
- The service is serverless and doesn’t require any upfront software installation. It scales instantly without limits using horizontal scaling of Google Cloud Platform.
- Role-level access control
- Apply IAM roles to device registries to control user access to devices and data
- Device deployment at scale
- Use REST APIs to automatically manage the registration, deployment, and operation of devices at scale
“ Thanks to Google Cloud IoT, we could connect a large fleet of smart meters to the Cloud, and build a smart energy platform that provides a realtime view of power utilization and forecasts demand for power utility providers. ”
— Edwin Poot Founder, President & Chief Visionary Officer , Energyworx
“ With Cloud IoT Core, we have been able to connect large fleets of bicycles to the Cloud, and quickly build a smart transportation fleet management tool that provides operators with a real time view of bicycle utilization, distribution and performance metrics, and forecasts demand for our customers. ”
— Jose L. Ugia VP Engineering, Noa Technologies
Cloud IoT Core Pricing
Google Cloud IoT Core is now available in private Beta. Customers invited in the private beta program will not be charged for Cloud IoT Core, and will be charged only for the use of Cloud Pub/Sub, Dataflow, BigQuery and other Cloud services for storage and analysis. Cloud IoT Core pricing will be announced at the upcoming public Beta release.
