Happy Monday everyone! Starting the week off with a useful piece by PTC about the importance of IoT and “big” data. But how is IoT Related to Big Data?
Big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two hot topics top of mind for business leaders. Together they have been making a significant impact on companies’ ability to capture and analyze data to drive business decisions. In today’s environment there are many situations where the Internet of Things and big data work hand in hand with each other. However, they evolved as separate technologies and have some differences as well.
This raises the question—how exactly are the two connected?
The article covers important questions like:
- What is big data?
- What is IoT data?
- What is the relationship between IoT and big data?
- How is big data used in IoT?
To sum up the relationship at a high level: A network of devices equipped with electronics and sensors (connected devices) send real-time information to the internet (IoT), where it is compiled and stored into vast data sets (big data) and analyzed to find useful patterns (big data analytics).
Makes sense?
