Use the embedded, fully compliant broker to reduce cost and complexity.
Built by HighByte for the Intelligence Hub, the embedded broker provides full support for MQTT v3.1.1 and v5. The Intelligence Hub can broker, examine, and interpret all message payloads natively, whether they are encoded in JSON or Sparkplug.
In addition to standard MQTT nodes, the embedded broker can interface with browser-based applications and nodes residing on restricted, HTTP-centric networks. Connect clients with either MQTT (mqtt.tcp) or WebSocket (mqtt.ws) transport. All connections can be secured with transport layer security (TLS).
HighByte Intelligence Hub is an integrated, all-in-one solution built for edge deployments throughout the enterprise. The Intelligence Hub collects, contextualizes, and brokers data in one application. This eliminates the need for a separate broker and is ideal for distributed architectures.
Multiple instances of the Intelligence Hub can be locally deployed to simplify data ingest from MQTT-based sensors, devices, and gateways. By localizing data brokering and modeling, data becomes more accessible and relevant at greater scale and pace. This reduces the cost and complexity of making intelligence usable, wherever it may reside within the enterprise.
The embedded MQTT broker is an ideal complement to third-party brokers. The Intelligence Hub connects to its own broker the same way it would connect to a third-party broker, providing architectural flexibility. Regardless of complexity, the Intelligence Hub can be deployed with any broker that meets the needs of the application.
The embedded broker is intended to be deployed locally at the edge near sources of industrial data in a factory or other industrial environment. It is designed to augment, not replace, enterprise-class brokers, which offer redundancy, horizontal scaling, and other advanced capabilities.
The embedded MQTT broker is tightly integrated with the core data integration, contextualization, and administration capabilities in the Intelligence Hub. From a single interface, both data governance and brokering can be orchestrated across one or many instances of the Intelligence Hub wherever producers or consumers of data may reside.
To obtain visibility into the health of your Industrial DataOps infrastructure, simply subscribe to the $SYS topic. The embedded broker exposes state, diagnostics, and statistics in real time to its own broker. Examples include the number of clients, messages, subscriptions, publishes, and size of data stored and transmitted. The $SYS topic can be subscribed to by any MQTT client to monitor the availability and utilization of the Intelligence Hub.
Users can also leverage the embedded UNS Client to visually browse, interrogate, and test their UNS without an external test client. When coupled with the embedded MQTT broker, the UNS Client enables the visualization of MQTT-based Industrial DataOps workloads in a single, unified engineering environment.
