Manufacturers will invest $70 billion in IoT technologies by the year 2020, resulting in data collection from millions of smart sensors like temperature measurement, predictive maintenance, and more. As a massive amount of data is transmitted to the cloud, it puts a major strain on the network. As more and more nodes are added, it becomes necessary to organize what is being driven to the cloud by using and intelligent cloud storage gateway.
The sensors are clustered and the data is sent through the gateway. This then delivers only the most important information to the cloud. The system is then more manageable, scalable and makes room for additional sensors without breaking the network. There are many service providers which provide and make it easy to build an intelligent gateway. The complete solutions are out in the market with hardware, software and cloud partners. Many interfaces available with many connectivity options.
UNDERSTANDING CLOUD STORAGE GATEWAY EFFICIENTLY:
Through it the data which is transferred is automatically filter, and make decisions autonomously. Let's say that the machine malfunctions in the production process. The sensors will alert the gateway, which sent the instructions to the actuator to take correct actions. If we then retrofit the systems with the Wi-Fi sensor. It can now anticipate the future failure and notify the gateway wirelessly. The gateway then coordinates with the cloud and issue maintenance instructions to the actuator accordingly with the minimum downtime. You can now invest once, deploy more nodes and connect faster.
HOW WOULD YOU CONNECT THE DATA CENTER IN YOUR ENTERPRISE TO THE CLOUD?
You can use cloud storage gateway because:
You don’t require to change the IT environment that you are used to
You don’t need to install new software nor setup new servers.
You can connect your storage seamlessly to the cloud through cloud gateway.
Then simply share your files with anyone, anywhere in the world.
