Developing Solutions for the Internet of Things
Cloud Data Gateways Analytics Things WHITE PAPER Internet of Things Developing Solutions for the Internet of Things Intel® products, solutions, and services are enabling secure and seamless solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT). Introduction The world is undergoing a dramatic transformation, rapidly transitioning from isolated systems to ubiquitous Internet-enabled ‘things’ capable of generating data that can be analyzed to extract valuable information. Commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), this new reality will enrich everyday life, increase business productivity, improve government efficiency, and the list goes on. Intel is working with a large community of solution providers to develop IoT solutions for a wide range of organizations and businesses, including industrial, retail, automotive, energy, and healthcare industries. The solutions generate actionable information by running analytic Powering software and services on data that moves between devices and the cloud in a manner that is Business always secure, manageable, and user-friendly. Transformation Whether connecting a consumer wearable device, vehicle, or factory controller to the Internet, everyone wants it to be quick and seamless. This paper describes how Intel® products and technologies are helping make this a reality by providing fundamental building blocks for a robust ecosystem that is developing end-to-end IoT solutions. Building Blocks for Thing to Cloud Innovation The IoT vision is to create opportunities to transform businesses, people’s lives, and the world in countless ways by enabling billions of systems across the globe to share and analyze data over the cloud. With these capabilities, IoT solutions can improve medical outcomes, create better products faster, lower development cost, make shopping more enjoyable, or optimize energy generation and consumption. -
