The Internet of Things introduces both organizational and technical challenges for businesses. Until now, most businesses have treated information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) as independent technology silos designed, operated, and maintained by different organizations. IoT converges the IT and OT worlds. Architects and system planners may need to acquire new skills to take on new technologies and overcome IoT scalability and performance challenges. And domain experts will need to work closely together to achieve desired results.

Previously separate teams must align goals and collaborate to ensure successful IoT outcomes. By improving communications and adopting common operating models, businesses can eliminate redundancies and inefficiencies, and boost business results.

The IoT introduces unprecedented performance and scalability challenges for architects and system planners. Vast numbers of connected devices will generate massive volumes of diverse data that must be collected, processed, analyzed, and acted upon quickly, reliably, and securely. An individual enterprise might gather and act upon billions of data objects per day from millions of distinct endpoints.

Common IoT adoption challenges include:

• Exploiting the full potential of IoT to fundamentally transform the business. To take full advantage of the Internet of Things enterprises must turn business insights into concrete actions to streamline business processes and improve decision making. By employing machine learning and artificial intelligence, recursively feeding information back into the system, and making full use of automation, businesses can revolutionize operations and gain a leg up on the competition.

• Securely connecting and managing millions of IoT devices. Legacy enterprise networks and management systems designed to support conventional IT applications and services can’t meet the increased scalability, agility, and security requirements of the Internet of Things. Tomorrow’s networks will need to connect millions of diverse endpoints, accommodate dynamic traffic flows, and protect enterprise applications, infrastructure, and data against increasingly sophisticated threats.

• Managing the sheer volume, variety, velocity, and veracity of IoT data. Conventional data acquisition and management approaches can’t satisfy massive IoT scalability requirements and performance demands. Enormous numbers of connected devices—sensors, meters, cameras, smart endpoints—will generate vast volumes of structured and unstructured data that must be efficiently collected and processed. Attention must be paid to the trustworthiness of the data collected. Businesses must rethink how they gather, process, and distribute data across the extended enterprise.

12 Gain New Insights and Control in Commercial and Industrial Operations | A Blueprint to improving business outcomes with IoT

To optimize IoT system performance and economics, it is important to know where data is collected and analyzed, and how it is distributed across the extended enterprise. Some data may be used to make real-time decisions (i.e., to trigger an industrial control action) and is best acted upon locally. Other data may be used for long-term analysis (i.e., to study a component’s life expectancy) and is best managed in the core.

HPE Pointnext has helped enterprises achieve massive scalability by implementing edge platforms that provide a distributed IoT architecture that pushes data collection and processing functions to the edge of the network. The latest IoT edge platforms optimize IoT system performance by offloading data gathering and processing tasks from centralized applications, and avoiding WAN transmission delays. (Data can be processed and acted upon locally without interacting with applications in the enterprise data center or cloud). In some applications a fraction of a second can be the difference between success and failure, or even life and death. Edge platforms also extend the resiliency and security of IoT implementations by distributing intelligence across the network and eliminating single points of failure.

Look for edge platforms that offer consumption-based licensing models to minimize upfront investments and tightly align ongoing expenses with usage. Best-of-breed edge platforms support high-density compute and all-flash storage for fast performance. They are also built to withstand shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures, for operation in harsh industrial environments or outdoor settings.

By making educated decisions about which data to gather, and by collecting, aggregating and processing the right data at the right place, you can overcome system scalability and performance challenges and lay a solid foundation for advanced analytics and control functions.

Checklist:

1. Determine the right data of interest for relevant use cases and ingest it. Understand the business goals and desired outcomes.

2. Introduce IoT edge platforms to collect and process data at the perimeter.

3. Aggregate, process, protect, and manage the data in the right place, at the right time.

4. Share and integrate data from edge to core/cloud. Cleanse and parse data, and perform preliminary analysis at the edge to unlock local, tactical insights and contain data sprawl.

5. Make relevant data available for business scenarios. Using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced analytics select or build a model, train the model, validate the model and retool as required.
