The Internet of Things will require a major
rethinking of data center capacity management to deal with huge data
growth, according to Gartner.
The latest research from the analyst firm
indicates that 26 billion sensors, devices and other gadgets will be
connected to the internet by 2020, driving a product and services
industry worth $300 billion (APS180 billion).
“IoT deployments will generate large
quantities of data that need to be processed and analysed in real time,”
said Fabrizio Biscotti, research director at Gartner. “Processing large
quantities of IoT data in real time will increase as a proportion of
workloads of data centers, leaving providers facing new security,
capacity and analytics challenges.”
The IoT will connect remote assets online,
and provide a data stream between these assets and centralised
management system. These assets can then be integrated into new and
existing enterprise system to provide real time information on location,
status, functionality and so forth, using data analytics.
