In his session at @ThingsExpo, Chad Jones, chief strategy officer at Deep Information Sciences, will look differently at IoT data so enterprises can fully leverage their IoT potential. He’ll share tips on how to speed up business initiatives, harness Big Data and remain one step ahead by apply...Oct. 9, 2015 01:45 PM EDT Reads: 562Azure Data Lake Store in Private PreviewBy Jayaram KrishnaswamyRecently announced Azure Data Lake addresses the big data 3V challenges; volume, velocity and variety. It is one more storage feature in addition to blobs and SQL Azure database. Azure Data Lake (should have been Azure Data Ocean IMHO) is really omnipotent. Just look at the key capabilities of Azure Data Lake:Oct. 9, 2015 01:00 PM EDT Reads: 326CIOs Must Beware Big Data BlindnessBy Adrian BridgwaterIt’s not hard to find technology trade press commentary on the subject of Big Data. Variously defined (in non-technical terms) as the cluttered old shoebox of all data – and again (in more technical terms) as that amount of data that does not comfortably fit into a standard relational database for storage, processing and analytics within the normal constraints of processing, memory and data transport technologies – we can say that Big Data is an oft mentioned and sometimes misunderstood subject.Oct. 9, 2015 09:30 AM EDT Reads: 265Coordinating IoT Software ReleasesBy Anders WallgrenDeveloping software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...Oct. 9, 2015 09:00 AM EDT Reads: 296One Easy Way to Get Started with Internet of ThingsBy Jayaram KrishnaswamyLittleBits Electronics offers the CloudBit Module which is a easy and quick option to create Internet connected devices. You can tag on Internet to many things without you needing to program anything. There are many, many projects that you can do with this module. Using IFTTT (read about it in an earlier post) you can connect to any web service or whatever that IFTTT supports. Together with Arduino you could even do custom coding. The module comes with a USB power module and a wall adapter. It looks like a toy but packs great power.Oct. 9, 2015 07:00 AM EDT Reads: 125You Can’t Test All the Things: API, IoT, ROI TBDBy SmartBear BlogI have three words for everyone in software testing: prioritize, prioritize, and prioritize. You can't test every possible permutation of your software, especially so with APIs and IoT devices where you're placing much of the user experience in the hands of integrators to your core products and services. You just can't, so we should throw our hands up now and just give up, right?Oct. 9, 2015 04:00 AM EDT Reads: 252[session] Transparent ‘Data’ from 'Things'By Pat RomanskiNowadays, a large number of sensors and devices are connected to the network. Leading-edge IoT technologies integrate various types of sensor data to create a new value for several business decision scenarios. The transparent cloud is a model of a new IoT emergence service platform.
