through Emerging Technologies

Joey Jablonski
New technologies are enhancing the ability to build scalable , secure IoT capabilities , leveraging the platforms that cloud providers have created .
The creation and proliferation of connected devices , systems and sensors continues to expand , resulting in a positive impact to human culture . The Internet of Things ( IoT ) promises to bring about fundamental change in how people live their lives . This is because nearly every industry is striving to improve the quality of their user experience through the use of high speed connections , data analysis and rapid consumer feedback . This has resulted in increased safety , more efficient transportation , simplified lifestyles and improved health .
The Real Value
IoT is more than just connecting sensors . It is about ensuring that those connected devices provide valuable input to a cycle that can be used to improve the industry they are supporting . But the real value of IoT will be realized as more complementary technologies mature and become integrated into the systems that are already connected . Ultimately IoT is a mindset , backed up by constantly emerging and maturing technologies , such as analytics @ the edge , serverless computing and machine learning .
