The structure of the top-level database management system (DBMS), which provides a unified data representation for all types of equipment, is based on universal principles that allow abstracting from the specifics of particular devices, platforms and protocols.

Let us consider the main elements of such a structure:

<Cards cols={2}>
  <Card
    icon="box"
    title="Abstract data layer"
    href="/en/platform/v2/top-level-dbms-structure/abstract-data-layer"
  />
  <Card
    icon="mouse-pointer-click"
    title="Unified access interface"
    href="/en/platform/v2/top-level-dbms-structure/unified-access-interface"
  />
  <Card
    icon="shield-check"
    title="Data security mechanisms"
    href="/en/platform/v2/top-level-dbms-structure/data-security-mechanisms"
  />
  <Card
    icon="expand"
    title="System scalability"
    href="/en/platform/v2/top-level-dbms-structure/scalability"
  />
  <Card
    icon="sparkles"
    title="Integration with various equipment"
    href="/en/platform/v2/top-level-dbms-structure/equipment-integration"
  />
  <Card
    icon="download"
    title="Backup and Restore"
    href="/en/platform/v2/top-level-dbms-structure/backup-and-restore"
  />
</Cards>

The top-level DBMS of the "Global Secure IoT Telemetry Data Collection and Processing Platform" provides:

- Unified data representation for all types of equipment.
- Universal protection, access and scaling mechanisms.
- Flexibility and adaptability to new technologies and requirements.

This framework can be used in any environment, from small IoT devices to large distributed systems.
