Telemetry Data Collection
Device Management
Provides ability to register and manage devices. Allows to monitor client-side and provision server-side device attributes. Provides API for server-side applications to send RPC commands to devices and vice-versa.
Fault-tolerance
Microservices or Monolithic
Horizontal scalability
All servers are identical. No master-workers or hot standby. Node failure is automatically detected. Failed nodes can be replaced without downtime. Persisted data is replicated using reliable NoSQL database.
Horizontal scalability
Microservices or Monolithic
Horizontal scalability
Amount of supported server-side requests and devices increase linearly as new servers are added in clustering mode. No downtime, server restarts or application errors.
Microservices or Monolithic
Microservices or Monolithic
Microservices or Monolithic

Functions
Benzol Web UI
Benzol Web UI provides a lightweight component written using Express.js framework to host static web ui content. Those components are completely stateless and no much configuration available. The static web UI contains application bundle. Once it is loaded, the application starts using the REST API and WebSockets API provided by Benzol Edge Core.
Benzol Entities
Benzol provides the user interface and REST APIs to provision and manage multiple entity types and their relations in your IoT application. Supported entities are Tenants ,Customers ,Users ,Devices ,Assets ,Alarms ,Dashboards...etc
Benzol Device Management(DM)
Devices are basic IoT entities that can produce telemetry data and handle RPC commands. For example, sensors, actuators, switches;Benzol Device Management (DM) support following device management features using Web UI and REST API.
Bezol Mornitoring
Benzol Monitoring provides the ability of alerts & notifications to create and manage alarms related to your entities: devices, assets, customers, etc. For example, you may configure Benzol Service to automatically create an alarm when the temperature sensor reading is above a certain threshold. Of course, this is a very simplified case, and real scenarios can be much more complex.

Bezol API Management
Benzol tracks API usage for six main components: Transport, Rule Engine, JS functions, Telemetry persistence, Email, and SMS services. When the API usage is disabled or reaches a certain threshold (typically 80%) Benzol will notify the Tenant Administrator via email.
