SV 2015 Awards Submissions are now Open
The Fourteenth Annual Storage Visions Conference (SV 2015) features a keynote talk on the Internet of Things from the Industrial Internet Consortium. The Industrial Internet Consortium will be joining SV 2015 as an organization sponsor. SV 2015 is a partner program to the 2015 CES.
Following is information on Dr. Richard Soley's keynote talk during the 2015 Storage Visions Conference: The Industrial Internet: Opportunities, Disruptions & Standards. The Industrial Internet represents a $32 trillion opportunity that will impact 46% of the world's GDP. By applying "Internet thinking" to industrial settings, the Industrial Internet is enabling companies to predict, control and create systems that produce significantly better outcomes. Yet with an estimated 99 percent of things in the digital world remaining unconnected, the world is at the proverbial tip of the data iceberg.
The continuous streaming of massive bits of data from connected devices and machines requires new thinking in the way this data is collected, stored, shared and analyzed. This session will focus on the scientific and engineering opportunities and challenges of the Industrial Internet on industrial infrastructure and digital storage requirements. Dr. Soley will introduce the work of the nonprofit Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) to identify, prioritize and recommend the standards and data storage & security requirements necessary for the rapid adoption of technologies that enable the Industrial Internet.
