The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data. Thanks to super-cheap computer chips and the ubiquity of wireless networks, it is possible to turn anything — from a pill to an airplane — into part of the IoT. Rapid Cloud Solutions merges the digital and physical universes, making the fabric of the world around us more innovative and responsive. Through low-cost computing, cloud, big data, analytics, and mobile technologies, physical things can share and collect data with minimal human intervention — and the physical world cooperates seamlessly with the digital.
Over the past few years, IoT has become one of the most critical technologies of the 21st century. Now that we can connect everyday objects — kitchen appliances, cars, thermostats, baby monitors — to the internet via embedded devices, seamless communication is possible between people, processes, and things. Digital systems can record, monitor, and adjust each interaction between connected things — the physical world and the digital world cooperate like never before.
