Book Description
Accelerating Digital Transformation with the Cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) is a reference for IT engineers and decision-makers who may engage in IoT platform pilot projects. The resources covered in this book help establish plans for sustainable operations and management and assist with the long-term procurement of relevant IoT technologies. The aim of the book is to be exhaustive and holistic by pointing out numerous issues and related solution options that guide with daily challenges when deploying and running IoT platforms.
The book is divided into three parts where each part includes relevant theoretical chapters and applied case studies. Part One focuses on architectural and federation options for the design and implementation of IoT platforms that foster strategic collaboration opportunities. Part Two addresses vertical security challenges across IoT platform layers. Finally, Part Three shows how IoT is driving the digital transformation wheel through existing and forthcoming case studies.
- Explores how IoT is driving the digital transformation wheel through existing and forthcoming case studies
- Investigates architectural and federation options for the design and implementation of IoT platforms that foster strategic collaboration opportunities
- Features supplemental data repository with IoT collected case studies as well as related analytics scripts in Python
