#IoT is perfect complement to #cloud because real time and reliable data comes from devices. Business impact is very much about speed so cloud is perfect fit

Social influencers are "probes" in the #IoT model. People are "things" too and they throw off great data

there is no perimeter in cloud that is radically and quickly changed the game on security. This is our top conversation on @theCUBE
[-]
Brian Fanzo
@furrier Yes I agree.. security game must change to embrace devices & technology.. have to be a team effort not security for security sake!

A3: new devices, customers demanding more & more from their devices @iSocialFanz

If you're not in the cloud you're irrelevant. New companies and new solutions are winning because they are born in the cloud. Older companies are lagging.

I would say a connected car - where it can track best traffic patterns and lead me best way to home & provide others where my car is at & how far from home.

I wore google glass to visualize software sensors while looking at hardware... heat maps in a data center was my example!

another one is having ability to easily move from device to device - so mirroring from my phone, to tablet, laptop, my tv, etc.

Athar Afzal
also i would say that using voice commands - like "send a whatsapp message to my dad that I'll be calling him on his mobile in 10 mins" and then automatically dial him !

Nest, Dropcam, all industrial machines connected to a datacenter. The intersection of physical + virtual world with #bigdata and cloud is the engine of change. #IoT will be bigger than people think.
