The broker collects and decodes live data, trades the interconnections between producers and consumers, scales the system, administers devices and users and initiates systems actions. The broker can run on premises for a few hundred connections or can run in a virtual data centre to represent millions of devices. It is currently the only broker which can be used in exactly the same manner on an edge cloud controller as well as in the cloud.
