TECHNOLOGY
Home automation , which is often controlled from your mobile device or in-ho
and the datacentre effectively brings datacentre functionality closer to the device . It can collect , analyse and take action based on data from its connected sensors and devices . The middle tier must be smart enough to take the required action quickly while sending only the most important summary data back to the main datacentre .
This concept is known as Near Field Processing . It lets decisions be made as close as possible to the edge of the network , so less data has to travel all the way back to the main datacentre . This minimises transmission costs and lets enterprises go from data to decision faster . The reduced time and bandwidth means that the IoT can become a business reality for enterprises .
In the past , organisations required very deep pockets to benefit from the process of gathering data from distributed devices , analysing it and using it to drive better
