Analytics, IoT to headline 2014 IT trends: IDC
It believes more firms in Asia-Pac will start mining sensor- generated data
BIG data, analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) dominate IDC Asia-Pacific's top 10 predictions for the enterprise space and technology industry, in particular, for 2014. These are driven largely by more companies starting to analyse the latent data currently generated by various sensors within their organisations' operations.
During its annual Predictions briefing recently, Sandra Ng, group vice-president of IDC Asia-Pacific's practice group, said the coming year would mark the "serious beginning" of big data-as-a-service (BD-aaS).
IDC defined BDaaS as the integration of four key offerings: non-transactional data; data storage services with adequate availability zones or clusters; compute resources offered by the same cloud provider that hosts the data storage; and analytics tools and products that run on the same cloud services as the compute resources.
