The Impact of IoT on Your Data Center Infrastructure

The Impact of IoT on Your Data Center Infrastructure

The world of the Internet is steadily merging with the world of physical things. Out of this convergence is born the Internet of Things (IoT), a giant global network connecting all web-enabled things (including people) in the world. From your coffee pot to your car to the cosmonaut orbiting around the earth, our virtual world will connect billions of smart devices with each other, creating an ecosystem where these things will have the ability to sense, interact and communicate with each other and influence actions and create services with or without human intervention.
As of 2011, there are more Internet-enabled devices in the world than actual human beings. And it is predicted, that by 2020 there will be close to 50 billion devices worldwide. The enormous amount of data generated by these devices will obviously need to be stored and processed in Data Centers and will impact DC operations and architecture.
