IUDX Deployment
Deployment Model
IUDX platform is a software system, which needs to be deployed and operated as part of the overall Smart City IT infrastructure. Since IUDX is a data exchange and not a data repository, it provides considerable deployment flexibility and not a rip-and-replace deployment. It is designed to add value in the existing deployments (brownfield) with no disruption to existing platforms and of course for the new deployments (greenfield) without any challenge. The IUDX components (Catalogue, Consent, Resource) along with the API adapters, will allow the existing data in their data platforms to be searched, requested, permitted and exchanged.
IUDX is targeted to be deployed in its own cloud instance, but could be deployed in a traditional on-premise model too if it is required to meet any specific requirements. The high data bandwidth video data will be hosted locally to meet latency and cost considerations. Multiple domains and cities could be connected to umbrella IUDXs to exchange data at the region, state and national level.
Deployment of IUDX is a partnership between the IUDX team, the city administration, their vendors and system integrators, and the ministry. The deployment will only succeed if all parties work together.
We have designed a carefully thought-out deployment process to help facilitate a successful deployment.
IT’s A PARTNERSHIP!

Deployment Process
Deployment of IUDX is a partnership between the IUDX team, the city administration, their vendors and system integrators, and the ministry. The deployment will only succeed if all parties work together.
The deployment process is designed to make the IUDX implementation easier, faster and impactful and enable the industry/start-up ecosystem to solve the city’s specific challenges using data. The typical cycle is of 3-4 months covering the following key tasks.
- City to prioritize the use cases and datasets which are important for the city administration, citizens and the ecosystem
- IUDX and City jointly evaluate the use cases and datasets and decide on the datasets to be onboarded on to IUDX
- City to coordinate with the solution vendors and provide the technical details and APIs for the targeted datasets
- IUDX to develop the city data specific ingestion modules and deploy IUDX city instance with the targeted datasets
- City to identify the ecosystem vendors/partners for the use case development and share the required datasets to them
- The Use case vendor/partner to develop, deploy and maintain the use case as agreed with the city administration
Datasets and Use cases Identifications:
- City to prioritize the use cases and datasets which are important for the city administration, citizens and the ecosystem
- IUDX and City jointly evaluate the use cases and datasets and decide on the datasets to be onboarded on to IUDX
- City to coordinate with the solution vendors and provide the technical details and APIs for the targeted datasets
- IUDX to develop the city data specific ingestion modules and deploy IUDX city instance with the targeted datasets
- City to identify the ecosystem vendors/partners for the use case development and share the required datasets to them
- The Use case vendor/partner to develop, deploy and maintain the use case as agreed with the city administration
A typical deployment plan will look something like this. However every city is different and the IUDX team will create a custom plan for every city.
