Similarly, IoT is becoming popular & has offered a wide range of capabilities a connected world can provide. Organizations deal with a huge amount of data every day that needs analysis and IoT act as an ideal source for that data.

Understanding the Connection between Big Data & IoT

Though both the topics are not similar, combining them can unfold amazing possibilities one could have never imagined. EMC believes that the IoT will account for a humongous data of 4.4 trillion GB in the universe by the year 2020. With billions of devices & sensors that will be connected to the internet, these devices will be gathering, sharing or analyzing data in real time. Without these data, IoT devices would not have gained so much attention.

One of the best examples will be tech wearables where the fitness band is the part of IoT. It records health related data & tracks them effectively to notify the users about the progress of their set fitness goals. Another great example of the collaboration of IoT & Big Data is Disney World’s MagicBand, a wearable enabled with the sensor that allows vacationers to check-in their hotel rooms, order food, book spot for tourist attractions, etc. The users will use wearable to check-in by tapping against a receiver that will track their movement through RFID. With this data, Disney can decide whether they can accommodate more guests in attractions and regulate inventory at shops.

We have observed that the future of technology lies in the smart collaboration of Big Data Analytics Solutions and IoT. Most of the organizations are aware that using Big Data and IoT will be beneficial for the business growth. However, it is important to make sure that they have the right tools and resources.
