Datacenters, Mobility and Internet of Things in our data-driven age.

In our mobile age where huge amount of data is generated and managed in real-time, it is inter alia obvious that:  

1.   businesses must focus on their IoT service platform requirements at the level of the datacenter itself, not just the individual servers or storage devices,

2.     The Internet of Things (IoT) explosion will be one of the major drivers of technology investments,
3.     Investments in the IoT platform services residing in the datacenter will be instrumental in delivering the IoT promise of anytime, anywhere and anyhow connectivity.

According to new research from International Data Corporation (IDC):

• IoT will emerge as the leading driver of new compute/storage deployment at the edge
• The growing importance of analytics in IoT services will ensure that hyperscale datacenters are a major component of most IoT service offerings by 2019
• IoT services will place growing stress in most enterprise and service provider networks
• Service providers will adopt IoT technologies (Smart IT) and services to better monitor and manage their own datacenter assets (Smart Datacenters).
