    Why build your IoT system on an event mesh powered by Solace?

    An event mesh distributes events among decoupled applications, cloud services, and connected devices.

    • Never Lose a Message: Solace offers built-in high availability and disaster recovery, and can buffer/replay data so disconnected and slow consumers get messages as soon as they can.
    • Enable Command & Control: Solace event brokers can send alerts and instructions to specific devices or groups of devices so you can safely command and control assets and vehicles.
    • Future-proof your Infrastructure: Solace makes it easy to fold AI, analytics, AI, 5G, and RPA into your IoT initiatives thanks to a loosely coupled architecture that lets you add or replace publishers and subscribers through subscriptions and topics.
    • Start Small, Scale Fast: With feature parity across cloud, software and appliances, you can easily prototype new functionality, shift into production, and scale to support billions of messages a day.
    • Secure Your Data: Solace supports enterprise-grade security in the areas of authentication, authorization and encryption. Learn more.
    • Use the Right API and Protocol for Every Interaction: Solace supports your favorite APIs and open standards like MQTT (including MQTT 5.0) and Sparkplug B.
