Everyone is talking about the Internet of Things (IoT) and developing a strategy to go after this market. There is a significant amount of focus by many companies to create more “things”—smart devices, wearables, and intelligent industrial endpoints. However, IoT also creates a large opportunity for datacenter infrastructure providers to help their customers move, store, process, and analyze the data generated by the “things” and turn that data into relevant business insights. Although data is being collected at exponentially-higher rates than ever before, most organizations do not yet have the appropriate skill sets or systems to take full advantage of the data collected.  Companies like Cisco Systems, Dell, IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Huawei all see this as a big opportunity to help their customers navigate these unchartered waters and to provide the datacenter infrastructure required to help transform massive amounts of data into actionable outcomes.
Moving Beyond the Cloud
Big Data analytics has become prevalent with many enterprise customers. The typical model involves gathering data from various sources, ingesting all of that data into the cloud datacenter, and using analytics engines within the datacenter to turn that data into insights.
