Big Data is a big catch phrase. Suddenly the world is focused on the massive amounts of data being created by social networks – interesting stuff. But the Internet of Things (IoT) will create at least an order of magnitude more data than social networks currently do. What will we do with this data? Maybe we’ll use it to help arrest the energy crisis. The IoT is first taking off in the Electric Grid and in appliances, thermostats, electric car chargers and solar panels that connect to it.
In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Kent Dickson, CTO at Tendril, will discuss how these devices and the Big Data they produce can massively reduce the amount of energy required to keep us happy and comfortable for years to come.
