A new technology coming up every day is making the world much more connected and a smaller place for us. Things are getting more and more digitalised. Every device that we see, we hold, we use is connected to the internet and there is a huge amount of data all over the cloud.
We have already gone through the series of blogs on IoT which must have shown you how the world is progressing towards the technology in a smarter way. The basic feature of each smart device is to be able to collect the data and send it over the internet for applications/software to analyse it so that anywhere in the world you can track the usage and other data received from the device. That sounds very simpler because it the veil of IoT devices.
Behind this, a lot of things are involved in encryption, server protection and several types of protocols that enable a single function. It is projected that by the end of the year 2020 there will be 38.5billion devices connected to the internet which have already crossed 13.4 billion in 2015.
With so many devices sending and receiving data – the volume of data will be something that has never been experienced before. This will completely challenge the capture, storage, and analysis of data, something that will transform the types of database technologies we have.
