How the IoT Affects Data Storage
Every day, more and more devices are connecting to the Internet. From smart phones to security cameras, smart devices are an increasing part of our everyday lives. For businesses, IoT sensors are a useful tool, used to collect and transmit a variety of data regarding equipment health, inventory, and more.
In the past, the only groups producing data were large enterprises. Their storage needs were simple and predictable. Today, the storage needs of businesses and individuals have grown to include smart homes, cell phones, and a variety of other connected devices. The amount of data being produced by these devices is enormous. As the amount of data being sent and received continues to grow, the need for secure data storage is expanding.
Businesses of all shapes and sizes now collect data at a higher rate and from more sources than previously possible. This large amount of data creates a unique challenge when it comes to storage.
The data storage systems of today must be able to securely store billions of files of data. As the IoT continues to grow, so must the capabilities of the data storage systems being used.
Cloud-Based Storage
IoT devices constantly stream data. Legacy storage systems simply cannot handle the storage needs of businesses today. These systems do not have the capability to efficiently digest the large amount of data coming in.
Cloud storage provides a flexible, scalable, sophisticated way to protect and store the large amounts of data collected by a wide range of smart devices. Cloud-based systems make data storage simple and efficient.
Businesses handling sensitive data must be extremely careful to follow rules and regulations regarding the treatment and storage of data. Different regions can have different codes, and compliance should always be a top priority.
