The Internet of Things (IoT) brings the promise of new possibilities, but to unlock them, organizations must change how they think about data. With the emergence of IoT, there is a new class of applications that processes streaming data from sensors and devices that are spread around the globe. In theory, the solution is simple: turn massive amounts of data into real-time insights by immediately processing and analyzing it in a continuous and infinite fashion. However, managing streaming IoT data is not that simple. Legacy infrastructure is not made to support IoT data streaming from millions of data sources with varying datatypes. The world of streaming IoT requires a shift to the world of real-time applications consuming continuous and infinite streams.

Software is rapidly becoming the foundation for most of the ways we work, live and play — a trend known as “softwarization.” Software isn’t new, of course. But what’s changed is the degree to which it determines a product’s user experience, revenue opportunities, longevity, competitiveness, market differentiation and more. Softwarization enables products to become “smart,” connected and even autonomous — capabilities that they didn’t have when software was a limited part of their DNA. For example, passenger vehicles and trucks have relied on software for decades to keep their engines running properly and efficiently. With softwarization, they now can drive themselves and upload granular information about the health and performance of every key component, helping avoid expensive breakdowns.
