Why data storage isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ solution for IoT
CheChung Lin, director of technical product marketing at Western Digital, discusses why data storage isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ solution when it comes to the Internet of Things (IoT)
Behind the complex network of connected technologies and devices, which makes up the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, lies a similarly large and sprawling network of data infrastructure. The amount of data produced by the IoT correlates to the large-scale growth that this segment is experiencing. Whilst capturing data is a key part of the process, so is ensuring it can be stored, accessed, and transformed into valuable insights. As data is the largest and most unique resource in each IoT application, enterprises must pay attention to how to store it appropriately to get maximum value from it.
