Internet of Things

The phenomenon of connected machines is sometimes called the Internet of Things, the Internet of Anything, the Internet of Everything, or M2M (machine to machine). But no matter what the name, the growth of technology related to objects, which never before were network- and computer-enabled, is projected to have far-reaching technological, societal, and economic impact.

The strongest examples of the impact of the Internet of Things are in the industrial sector. Embedded software, sensors, and network connectivity promises to improve the way factories, data centers, oil wells, and cities, airplanes, cars, and even homes are maintained because data can be collected continuously with alerts issues proactively to prevent failures and outages.

According to Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group, 50 billion devices will be connected by 2020, up from 2010's 12.5 billion. By 2020, data production will be 44 times greater than it was in 2009, and by 2020, more than one-third of the data produced will live in or pass through the cloud, according to Computer Sciences Corp.

Are data infrastructures ready to deliver insights at the speed of thought—or, for that matter, at the speed of an AI prompt? For decades, batch processing was the mode of data delivery—and organizations built their analytical environments in which information was several hours, or maybe a day, old. Then, as the digital economy evolved, certain parts of the data infrastructure moved to near real time, meaning results to queries were delivered within a half-hour to several hours.

A pattern keeps surfacing, and it's hard to ignore. In conversations with IT professionals—many currently employed, but quietly exploring new opportunities—a troubling trend has emerged.

For years, manual ways to process DataOps—which Gartner defines as a collaborative data management practice focused on improving the communication, integration, and automation of data flows between data managers and data consumers across an organization—were tolerated as an unavoidable part of working with data. Scripts were crafted by hand, deployments relied on checklists, and governance lived in documents and in architecture review meetings. When something broke, teams fixed it manually and moved on. That approach worked until the stakes changed.
