The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.Oct. 8, 2015 09:00 PM EDT Reads: 120SMS for Business By Tim Fujita-YuhasMobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...Oct. 8, 2015 05:30 PM EDT Reads: 235Peter Cornelius ‘WebRTC + IoT’By Pat RomanskiCan call centers hang up the phones for good? Intuitive Solutions did. WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT.

Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as “time series data.” Oct. 8, 2015 02:45 PM EDT Reads: 501MORE » Latest StoriesDevOps with Containers for MicroservicesBy Carmen GonzalezOct. 9, 2015Business Case for Internet of ThingsBy Yeshim DenizOct. 9, 2015[session] The Dark Art of Container MonitoringBy Liz McMillanOct. 9, 2015[session] AgilData Sneak PeekBy Liz McMillanOct. 9, 2015What Is Emergent About Emergent Architecture?By Jason BloombergOct. 9, 2015[session] A Cloud and IoT Way of ThinkingBy Liz McMillanOct. 9, 2015[session] OpenShift: PaaS That Enables DevOpsBy Liz McMillanOct. 9, 2015ProfitBricks CEO to Present in Silicon ValleyBy Carmen GonzalezOct. 9, 2015Redefining Airline Experience Using IoTBy Carmen GonzalezOct. 9, 2015[session] Moving Up to CloudBy Pat RomanskiOct. 9, 2015Comparing PHP 7 vs. HHVMBy AppDynamics BlogOct. 9, 2015Docker is Hot!

In their session at @ThingsExpo, Shyam Varan Nath, Principal Architect with GE, and Dr. Sarah Cooper, M2Mi's VP Business Development and Engineering, will explore the IoT cloud-based platform technologies driving this change including privacy controls, data transparency and integration of real time context w...Oct. 9, 2015 07:30 AM EDTComparing PHP 7 vs. HHVMBy AppDynamics BlogPHP is one of the most popular scripting languages used for web development. The latest version of PHP, PHP 7 is a new version of the language that is been optimized for fast performance. However, PHP has a rival in HHVM (Hip Hop Virtual Machine) — a virtual tool that executes PHP code. The competition between these two options is heating up, so let’s take a look at the performance that each can offer.Oct. 9, 2015 07:15 AM EDT Reads: 134One 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: 112Stop Playing Catch-Up with the IoTBy Elizabeth WhiteThe IoT is upon us, but today’s databases, built on 30-year-old math, require multiple platforms to create a single solution. Data demands of the IoT require Big Data systems that can handle ingest, transactions and analytics concurrently adapting to varied situations as they occur, with speed at scale.
That richer, more fully integrated experience comes about through a Communications Platform as a Service which allows for messaging, screen sharing, video...Oct. 9, 2015 12:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,135Understanding Node.js Memory LeaksBy AppDynamics BlogMemory leaks can be a serious problem in Node.js, potentially affecting the performance of your Node apps. Although it might look like a predicament in the back-end is causing the application to fail, the real source of a bug could be a Node.js memory leak. It’s important to understand what memory leaks are, why they occur, and how to detect and solve memory leaks in Node.js, to get ultimately to the bottom of fixing memory leaks.Oct. 8, 2015 09:00 PM EDT Reads: 414IoT Development with PIC Controller-Based CodebugBy Jayaram KrishnaswamyCodeBug is a cute, programmable and wearable device designed to introduce simple programming and electronic concepts to anyone, at any age.
