Cloud and IoT are the Perfect Combination for Enterprises
The internet of things (IoT) has changed many industries extensively. IoT generates data and allows companies to access it with the help of internet connected devices. Companies can avoid time-consuming site visits to determine asset health and can directly access the data with a simple click. Industrial-grade IoT offers benefits such as improved operational management, access to real-time data, and automatic system warnings. These benefits further unfurl other benefits such as improved efficiency, cost-savings via maintaining assets because of system warnings in advance, and the current situation of the company and the devices.
These advantages are applicable to control centers, centralized offices, and manufacturing facilities. Internet-connected devices can quickly and efficiently share and extract vital information which automatically streamlining and optimizing operations. To efficiently leverage IoT technologies, companies must shift from centralized servers and PCs to cloud-based server systems. Cloud-based systems are optimized to store massive amounts of data, share it with minimum latency. Companies can quickly scale up or scale down due to the flexibility provided by the cloud.

Launching an IoT solution is a difficult task. The company has to worry about the functionality of the hardware and the machinery. Further, the company has to develop the software to facilitate communication and data collection. In the end, the company must deploy the entire back-end infrastructure to make all the moving parts work. With the help of a cloud server, the company doesn’t have to plan extensively about setting up servers, configuring networks, deploying databases, and performing many other infrastructural tasks. The company can use all this at a moment’s notice. The firm can easily launch database instances, create data pipelines, and quickly spin up virtual servers.
IoT devices can gather massive amounts of data, and the cloud can provide scalability to store that data. IoT traffic and number of devices will explode in the coming years, and there will be an ocean of data to store, process, and access when necessary. If the company uses traditional servers, then they have to buy enough capacity, and during idle times the high capacity server would sit idle. With cloud computing, the company can instantly scale up infrastructure capacity as per demand. As the company adds more features into their IoT solutions, they can quickly scale up or down as per their functionality.
