Imagine a world where everything computes. Where all your devices can connect to the Internet, can ‘talk’ to each other and share data. By 2020, this Internet of Things world will be a reality.

The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the devices that function across potentially global networks. The IoT can be compared to the Internet. The latter is made up of people, the former is made of things – sensors and devices that gather and share data. IoT enables you to collect and analyze data from connected assets, people, and places to deliver actionable insights in an industrial environment.

In just a few years, IoT will be mainstream. In fact, by 2020:

  • 28 billion IoT devices will be in operation
  • 43% of all IoT data will be processed at the edge prior to being sent to a data center
  • 38% of potential IoT economic impact requires interoperability between IoT systems
  • 85% of organizations will adopt IoT by 2019

Because of its pervasiveness, IoT will impact every area of your technology infrastructure from cloud to analytics to wireless to security.
