Point of View: IOT and Analytics

By Neeraj Arora, Professional Services Engineering Emerging Technology

Most analysts agree that the number of connected devices will soon outnumber the world’s population, if it hasn’t already. Concurrent with the explosion in the number of devices, there’s been a tremendous growth in the amount of data generated. Whereas this data is being used by some businesses to better serve their customers, a large number of today’s businesses are largely unaware of their opportunities, challenges, and solutions to tap this vast resource.

In this IOT and Analytics white paper, we provide a high-level discussion on the categories of use-cases businesses might consider to solve using connected devices and data collected by these devices, key decisions they must consider making early on, related technologies that we recommend they investigate, and how we at VMware can assist them in the process.
