Businesses are getting more involved with the Internet of Things technology, with 80% of the 200 participants in an Omdia survey saying they will deploy IoT in the next two years. The results reveal that 70% of respondents plan to have more than 50,000 IoT devices deployed in the next 24 months.Most are convinced they can achieve ROI relatively quickly on their IoT spending. Two-thirds (67%) of companies expect to achieve ROI within 12 months.Omdia analysts see this as the inflexion point for the technology. According to them, there is a delta between expectations and planning, where the IoT story breaks down and IoT deployments are lost.
IoT and OT technologies, solutions and capabilities are quickly becoming part of the fabric of organisations’ information infrastructure. They represent an evolving threat vector that is rapidly creating new classes and types of threats and vulnerabilities that greatly expand the surface of concern for organisations using them. These threats and vulnerabilities need to be analyzed and integrated into an organization’s information security and risk management strategies and planning to effectively meet information security and risk requirements, goals and objectives.
As enterprise infrastructure moves toward delivering distributed applications in the cloud, the datacenter itself is being transformed. High application availability, the desire to convert from capital expense (CAPEX) to operating expense (OPEX), and fewer available technical resources are driving applications out of the traditional data centre. And making it imperative to transition to a hybrid model mindset, where the presence of an on-premise datacenter is no longer the primary driver of infrastructure decisions.In other words, datacenter functions can no longer be centralized in one physical location but deployed to meet complex business requirements using cloud, datacenter, colocation, and edge deployment sites.
