“ Physical and cyber security can no longer be treated as separate disciplines ”
The driving force behind data centre evolution – why do we need IoT ? Previously considered to be within the same bracket as hoverboards , IoT is now set to revolutionise countless industries .
Smart devices will gather data through sensors , processors and other hardware , before sending it to an IoT cloud getaway for analysis – all without any human input required .
The opportunities for this technology are endless , spanning everything from providing more advanced healthcare services to keeping our roads safer , and even creating a more intuitive experience at big music events .
From the perspective of a company , the benefits of IoT are multi-faceted and farreaching . If implemented successfully , IoT can improve internal efficiency , provide a greater degree of control and automation , increase operational transparency , offer real-time insights into operations , automate processes , increase delivery speed , and provide a more bespoke customer service , just to name a handful . These opportunities expand when IoT is partnered with AI and ML , enhancing the technology further .
