What is the Internet of Things (IoT) | SAS https://www.sas.com/en_us/insights/big-data/internet-of-things.html
We’ve been fascinated with gadgets that function on a grander scale for decades (think
spy movie-type stuff) – but it’s only been in the past several years that we’ve seen the
IoT’s true potential. The concept evolved as wireless Internet became more pervasive,
embedded sensors grew in sophistication and people began understanding that
technology could be a personal tool as well as a professional one.
The term “Internet of Things” was coined in the late 1990s by entrepreneur Kevin
Ashton. Ashton, who’s one of the founders of the Auto-ID Center at MIT, was part of a
team that discovered how to link objects to the Internet through an RFID tag. He said he
first used the phrase “Internet of Things” in a presentation he made in 1999 – and the
term has stuck around ever since.

We should be thinking less about the Internet of Things, and more about
the Intelligence of Things. We need to infuse analytics into our systems and
applications, because collecting data alone is not enough.
The impact that the IoT has had on the world has been significant – and it’s only getting
started. Learn more about what people are saying.

In IoT discussions, it’s recognized from the onset that analytics technologies are critical
for turning this tide of streaming source data into informative, aware and useful
knowledge. But how do we analyze data as it streams nonstop from sensors and
devices? How does the process differ from other analytical methods that are common
today?
In traditional analysis, data is stored and then analyzed. However, with streaming data,
the models and algorithms are stored and the data passes through them for analysis.
This type of analysis makes it possible to identify and examine patterns of interest as
data is being created – in real time.
So before the data is stored, in the cloud or in any high-performance repository, you
process it automatically. Then, you use analytics to decipher the data, all while your
devices continue to emit and receive data.
With advanced analytics techniques, data stream analytics can move beyond
monitoring existing conditions and evaluating thresholds to predicting future scenarios
and examining complex questions.
To assess the future using these data streams, you need high-performance
technologies that identify patterns in your data as they occur. Once a pattern is
recognized, metrics embedded into the data stream drive automatic adjustments in

Essentially, this means you can move beyond monitoring conditions and thresholds to
assessing likely future events and planning for countless what-if scenarios.
