We will only achieve economies of scale in IoT by finding multiple ways to monetize both data and device capabilities within an entire ecosystem of partners. This requires a transition from vertical business silos to a platform-driven approach.
Enterprise leaders understand how important the Internet of Things (IoT) will be to their companies—in fact, according to a report by McKinsey & Company, 92 percent of them believe IoT will help them innovate products and improve operations by 2020. However, like many business-enabling systems, IoT is not without its growing pains. Even early adopters have concerns about the cost, complexity, and security implications of applying IoT to their businesses. To help you plan your IoT journey, we’re rolling out a four-part blog series. In the upcoming posts, we’ll cover how to create an IoT business case, overcome capability gaps, and simplify execution; all advice to help you maximize your gains with IoT.
Fluke’s Fiber Test and Troubleshooting — Optical Fiber Cabling for Data Communication Handbook is now available as an eBook! Learn about the fundamentals of how to inspect, clean, test, troubleshoot and document fiber cabling infrastructure installations.
15 years ago, when the demand on the network were smaller, fiber in the access part of the network was an option. Operators thought of fiber when they were upgrading their network or building a new one. Today, customers have moved from, “should we upgrade to fiber” to “we have to do an upgrade”, simply to stay ahead of demand and be competitive. When a community upgrades to FTTH, that “fiber richness” can do more than connect people at home. Today’s 4G and especially 5G need more fiber in the infrastructure. Ultra-fast speeds demand fiber backbone feeding small cells, so FTTH helps with that. On top of that, with the Internet of Things (IoT) beginning to take hold, FTTH lays the foundation for a larger network transformation, and it changes lives.

The IoT is one of the most fundamental technologies that can power the Digital Supply Network by creating digital enterprises that are both interconnected and capable of more informed decision-making. The IoT connects the network and provides communication and visibility across the value chain, from inputs to production, from products to customers themselves.
Smart technology has opened the door to start measuring outcomes and using this data to provide insights to improve the occupant experience. With data to show that the environment is providing value to the occupants, the facility management team can claim credit for having created that environment.
The world of smart building technology is uniquely positioned to benefit from IoT. But, how can organizations – whether they’re large multi-national entities or small to medium-sized businesses – best integrate IoT to deliver significant transformation over time?
The following smart building IoT best practices should be taken into consideration: 1) Start small. Test IoT in your building before expanding. 2) Build a solid plan 3) Include all stakeholders.
Enterprise customers will soon require the low latency networking that RDMA offers so that they can address a variety of different applications, such as Oracle and SAP, and also implement software-defined storage using Windows Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) or VMware vSAN. There are three protocols that can be used in RDMA deployment: RDMA over InfiniBand, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), and RDMA over iWARP. Given that there are several possible routes to go down, how do you ensure you pick the right protocol for your specific tasks?
This video gives a short overview of how Internet of Things fits into an overall smart building to meet operational goals and the expected occupant experience.
