Use External Storage Options for Long-Term Data Availability and Analysis

You can choose to use one of the external storage options, namely Oracle Autonomous Database or OCI Object Storage, to safely and cost-effectively store your IoT sensor and analytics data for long-term persistence.

The application can use your external storage to store raw or aggregated sensor attribute data, and data related to analytics artifacts, such as metrics, anomalies, predictions, and trends. You can also store your rule incidents and warnings. You can use the historical data for visualization and analysis in external and third party applications.

You can use the rich querying functionality in Oracle Autonomous Database, or chart and analyze the stored data in external applications, such as Oracle Analytics Cloud. For example, you can use analyses, projects, and dashboards in Analytics Cloud to find the answers that you need from key IoT data displayed in graphical formats. You can use applications such as Oracle Visual Builder to create dashboards and mashups.
