Most of the IoT Gateway scenarios involve collecting data from machines/processing and pushing data upstream to cloud for further analytics. The gateway hardware varies from Raspberry Pi to Industrial PCs. The document states the process of allowing deploying polyglot data pipelining software with the clear notion of supporting immutability.

The shoe that's been dangling at the end of Washington's toe for ever so long has finally dropped, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly ready to serve Google with civil subpoenas, kicking off what the paper says will be a "wide-ranging, formal antitrust investigation into whether the search giant has abused its dominance on the web."
Google should get served with demands for information in days. Competitors and customers will get theirs later.

The Journal says the investigation will focus on "fundamental issues relating to Google's core search advertising business," which of course is responsible for the bulk of its revenue. The FTC wants to know if Google "unfairly channels users to its own growing network of services at the expense of rivals."
Google is being investigated for the same thing in Europe. The European Commission opened its investigation in November after getting complaints from a rival Microsoft subsidiary in Germany among others.

By Pat Romanski As more intelligent IoT applications shift into gear, they’re merging into the ever-increasing traffic flow of the Internet. It won’t be long before we experience bottlenecks, as IoT traffic peaks during rush hours. Organizations that are unprepared will find themselves by the side of the road unable to cross back into the fast lane. As billions of new devices begin to communicate and exchange data – will your infrastructure be scalable enough to handle this new interconnected world? Dec. 13, 2015 04:30 PM EST Reads: 369 |
By Liz McMillan In demand-intensive mobile and web applications, an emerging pattern is to host the Systems of Engagement in the cloud (for maximum responsiveness) but keep the Systems of Record with the other important business systems in the company datacenter, often on a tightly secured mainframe.

Imagine for a moment that you have three doors in front of you containing the data your clients have backed up. Behind door number one lies a complicated clutter of data, various files, and unidentifiable information. Behind door number two you have a data desert, with little or no available information. Finally, behind door number three is a perfectly organized system of saving exactly what is needed and disposing of what isn't. I'm guessing if you had the choice, you'd probably choose door number three, but unfortunately most businesses get stuck with doors one and two.
How is cloud computing bringing society and its ideas closer together?
This got me thinking. Last week the President of the United States started following me on Twitter. Now I realize that it's not really President Obama on the other side of that virtual table, but the event brought to mind the Six Degree of Separation concept.
In case you don't remember, this theory states that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world. That random thought led me to wonder if all this social media has actually changed the theory so much t...
Big data has gone mainstream. The variety, volume and velocity of data streaming across your desk have reached unprecedented levels. This exponential growth challenges even the most data driven managers. With the massive quantity of available BI tools, such as dashboards and reports, you have powerful ways to drive your business. Yet, you may find adoption and usage of these tools declining, making it more difficult to identify problems and create solutions. Push Intelligence takes big data to the next level by alerting users to critical exceptions and problems in real time. Through email and ...
You may have heard about the pets vs. cattle discussion – a reference to the way application servers are deployed in the cloud native world. If an application server goes down it can simply be dropped from the mix and a new server added in its place. The practice so far has mostly been applied to application deployments.
Management software on the other hand is treated in a very special manner. Dedicated resources are set aside to run the management software components and several alerting systems are deployed to watch the health of those components. Administrators spend hours each day managi...
A friend recently asked me to explain what IoT really stood for, not what the definition meant, and to describe the implications of IoT. To help everyone else who has the same questions, here is a concise explanation of everything you need to know about the Internet of Things (IoT) and related technologies.
IoT is short for the Internet of Things. It’s the name of the technology that allows IP address-enabled sensors to perform a specific task by measuring a certain unit and potentially responding to input and creating a response through other connected mechanisms. Other terms such as Interne...
The annual holiday shopping season, which started on Thanksgiving weekend and runs through the end of December, is undoubtedly the most crucial time of the year for many eCommerce websites, with sales from this period having a dramatic effect on the year-end bottom line.
Web performance – or, the overall speed and availability of a website or mobile site – is an issue year-round, but it takes on increased importance during the holidays. Ironically, it is at this time of year that networks and infrastructure come under the most strain from traffic and are more vulnerable than ever to performan...

We'll learn how the drive for better patient outcomes amid economic efficiency imperatives has created a demand for a new type of big-data implementation model. This solutions approach -- with the support from Hewlett Packard Enterpris...
The technology industry is fond of rounding out the year with predictions for the twelve months ahead. It’s almost as if our arbitrary notion of calendar-driven time should be guaranteed to herald the arrival of the next paradigm shift or platform change.
Of course we know that in reality, change and development happens continuously and this is especially so in IT. Rather than a ‘what to expect in the year ahead’ discussion, let’s instead look at some of the darker truths that currently stem from the data universe we are all currently trying to circumnavigate.
In today’s pharmaceutical supply chain, counterfeit activity is thriving. As pharma companies have expanded target markets and outsourced production over the last decade, the supply chain has become increasingly global, virtual, and vulnerable. Illicit activity has thrived, and patients have suffered, with hundreds of thousands dying each year from counterfeit and contaminated drugs.
More than 40 countries have responded with new laws that regulate prescription medications as they travel through the supply chain. While this is a quantum leap forward for patient health, the implications for su...
