How IoT Data Lifecycle Can Work With AI at The Edge

John Ejiofor / March 11, 2020

The era of IoT brought along a big transformation in the enterprise data lifecycle but as if that was not enough, the implementation of  AI on the edge is completely revolutionizing the whole ecosystem in order to make sure it meets real-time analysis needs. It’s very obvious that IT pros will be making grave mistakes if they think they can afford a room for guesswork in IoT infrastructure planning. The fact on the ground these days is that your digital architecture can undergo changes unpredictably within a space of two years because IoT and AI have seriously started playing great roles in the gathering and handling of data. Minimal diversity in the traditional data lifecycle  When we have not started operating in clouds, it was easier for IT pros to execute, understand, and control the data lifecycle, since the enterprise data lifecycle was relatively manageable and essentially static and circular. Then, data was more structured, less diverse, and traversed only a few routes to lesser destinations.  At that point in time, we did not have the need for the mazy steps we have now in the traditional data lifecycle you could easily carry out the following processes on your data…

6 Amazing Top Applications of IoT (Internet of Things)

John Ejiofor / November 5, 2019

Internet of Things (IoT) is so widespread nowadays that it’s more than likely that you’ve either seen the phrase or heard the phrase once or twice before. What the phrase means, and your understanding of it has been brought up for questioning one time or the other.  However, the internet of things, or IoT, could be a system of computing devices that are interrelated, they can also be mechanical or digital machines. Even objects, animals, and people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) fall under this group, inasmuch as, they can be able to transfer data over a network without the need of human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.  According to Whatis, a thing in the internet of things can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when the tire pressure becomes low or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and is able to transfer data over a network.  The entire concept of IoT seems ambitious, as it intends to fit a wide variety of needs of people and tasks.

Benefits and Risks Associated With Edge Computing

John Ejiofor / October 22, 2019

In 2017, it was discovered that around 10% of enterprise-generated data was being created and processed outside a traditional centralized data center or cloud. By 2025, however, Gartner predicts this figure will reach 75%, this is a clear case that edge computing is gaining steam. For a business to thrive, the outright mindset will be to make huge returns on investment and to this end, it’s expected that there will be concerted efforts at cutting costs especially those that are considered irrelevant. Another way to cut costs is by reducing waste such as is seen in bandwidth and that’s where edge computing comes in. Apart from the pressure on resources that are brought to bear by bandwidths and networks, some other driving forces that are responsible for the expected growth in edge computing include a growing scale of projects, an increase of IoT devices, and the need for quick data analysis across multiple IoT use cases.  If you also consider the fact that Intel founder Gordon Moore, says that by 2040 the world’s energy production will not support our computing capability, you will see a good reason for edge computing coming along to fill any possible void that will be…
