These are tumultuous times, impending wars, fewer jobs, failing banks and slower economic growth.
We need good leadership for security, a proper natural resource utilization to save our planet and build hope for a better tomorrow.
I am finding leadership and hope in oddest of places...in our tech sector. We are buzzing with activity in Social networking, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud Technologies.
In some ways all these trends are having a synergistic effect to promote rapid development and consequent adoption of Internet of Things(IoT).
We are seeing massive acquisitions(NEST by Google/Beats by Apple) of IoT potentials, Crowd funding and rapid improvement in energy technologies(solar/battery). These are fueling the progress of internet of things as the next big thing.
Impact of Internet of Things(IoT) will be direct and transformative for both communities and corporations.
Some examples of Mundane Tasks that can be made simple with application of IoT:
1. Active Asset Tracking - Where Assets are advertising their locations and metadata - need for gate passes (returnable and non-returnable) and reconciliation are minimized while achieving loss prevention targets.
2. Fleet Management - Vehicles are reporting their Mileage, Fuel levels and Maintenance records. Increased Car utilization using share corporate/community fleets.
3. Energy Management - LPG Cylinder - advertises usage and alarms us if there is fire hazard.
4. Energy Management - HVAC and Lighting - People aware comfort setting on conditioners and activity inspired lighting patterns
5. Mobile Cashless world - buying and selling happens over cell phones using NFC.
The use cases above rally around the preservations of precious natural resources(energy,water and air), Improving Security/Safety and creating delightful experiences for our future generations.
Internet of Things(IoT) is driven by the inexpensive intelligent purpose-built embedded connected devices that work together as a system.
The Role of these devices vary from being Data Collectors(Sensors), Display devices, Decision makers and Execution engines(End-effectors).
The key to building a Robust, Secure and Scalable Information Infrastructure lies in the decentralizing the above functions.
A Proposed Architecture blueprint for easier management, quicker and more productive adoption could be based on Simple Autonomous, Co-Operative and Segmented Groups of devices with no central control.
The idea is to bring datacenter as close as possible to the device. A Programmable Infrastructure for Distributed Analytics, Decision making and Local Information Summarization/dissemination can result in:
1. Efficient utilization of Network connectivity
2. Distributed Policy Enforcement and Security
3. Easier Access to rich Information with Robust Identity and Access Management
We are proposing a vision of distributed mobile-data-centers. Each member device acts as a node within a segment/cluster. It is elected to assume one or more roles based on device capability, resource availability and proximity.
The Intent of the System can be codified into easy to understand policies with set constraints. Controls can be build to modify either constraints or policies themselves for driving to intended outcomes.
This distributed approach to Information Infrastructure management may be ideal for simplifying the complex event processing challenges. It inverts traditional paradigm of device to datacenter.
VAMANiT Mobile Information Infrastructure is our call to action to realize this architectural vision.
We believe in doing our bit to preserve precious natural resources(energy,water and air), Improve Security/Safety and create delightful experiences for our future generations.
