We are witnessing the instrumentation of every available surface in the material world — streets, cars, factories, power grids, ice caps, satellites, clothing, phones, human bodies. These devices generate more data than we have ever experienced. Because of this, the Internet of Things creates an opportunity to measure, collect and analyze an ever-increasing variety of behavioral statistics. This data is streaming in real-time and it will force companies to determine which IoT platform architecture will be resilient, scalable, and extensible enough to handle these new workloads.
