According to a recent Cisco News article the Internet of Everything (IoE) is a multi-trillion dollar opportunity that incorporates data gathering, data processing, data analysis, data visualization, data optimization, data storage and retrieval, etc. Data is being generated at an exponential rate and with the IoE even more data will be generated.
The companies that win in this space are going to be the ones who understand how to synthesize meaningful relationships from the ocean of data (i.e. contextually relevant relationships), how to discern new knowledge, how to act on this knowledge, and how to communicate this new knowledge based on the context of an end-user or a machine.
Big Data technologies will play a pivotal role in the IoE, and therefore provide many opportunities for innovation; those wishing to gain a better understanding of several of the technologies involved in this exciting field are encouraged to watch the following video.
