Extracting Insights in Real-Time
The IoT market will have a total potential economic impact of $3.9 trillion to $11.1 trillion a year by 20251
By 2020, more than five million smart sensors and other IoT devices will be in use around the world, and will generate at least 507.5 zettabytes of data2
It is estimated that there will be 47 billion connected devices by 20213
What makes real-time analytics at the edge become possible or even preferred, not just now but in years to come, is the possibility of conducting artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML). AI and ML are becoming increasingly more complex, versatile and sophisticated to enable real-time analysis at the edge, on the hub and, ultimately, in the cloud to get more value from all of the IoT data collected. Data can be sent to the cloud, where machine learning and AI can be trained to watch for patterns and gain insights from large data sets over time.

HOW TO EXTRACT VALUE FROM EDGE DATA
For many IoT applications, it has become critical for data to be screened and analyzed where it is generated - from sensors in a car, surveillance cameras, drones, personal devices, robots, gateways, etc. – and even transformed there. The ability to deliver real-time analytics at the network’s edge can improve operational efficiencies, provide safer driving, create more secure environments, foresee upcoming maintenance, identify customer buying behaviors, and enable a world of opportunities.
Network latency is a challenge. It takes too long to store and forward data, whose value exists now. Edge storage manages data captures and provides the compute capabilities that aggregate and analyze that data in real time, to deliver immediate and actionable insights at the device level.
THE VALUE OF EDGE ANALYSIS
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), image, voice and gesture recognition, and other technologies deployed onto edge devices interact with captured data in real time to deliver valuable insights. The full digestion of analytics can be transferred to the cloud where it can be used to further train AI models for machine learning or archived for future use. The ability to access this information in real time, ultimately, creates a more efficient and effective business, operation, or environment, enabling greater opportunities for monetization of the IoT application.

IOT DATA LAKE
One of the biggest challenges that enterprises encounter when exploring how to improve their businesses using Internet of Things (IoT) data is the sheer volume created by sensors. This staggering amount of data impedes the ability to efficiently access, manipulate, and gain insights from the vast and diverse world of data collected.
Cloud object systems were designed to handle the enormous volume of IoT data and can help you aggregate, store, manage and protect data in a centralized hybrid cloud system, while providing the ability to collaborate and share that data across the ecosystem.
Object storage solutions built on Western Digital Ultrastar platforms can be designed to handle massive amounts of data, such as that generated by IoT. Our high-density, low-power footprint and compelling economics means you can keep more data online versus deciding what to delete or take offline.
A cost-effective 4U, 60 bay JBOD for software-defined storage (SDS) that delivers high density and the flexibility to balance performance with cost and provides up to 1.3PB¹ of raw storage in a compact and efficient form factor.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Extends the high performance of NVMe flash to shared storage. It provides low-latency sharing of NVMe SSDs over a high-performance Ethernet fabric to deliver similar performance to locally attached NVMe SSDs.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Advanced storage platform for next-generation disaggregated Software-Defined Storage (SDS) environments. Extremely dense form factor provides up to 2.2PB¹ of raw storage in just 4U with the flexibility to balance capacity, performance and cost.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
A high-performance edge server that enables remote data capture and analytics at the cloud edge. Processing data closer to where it is generated reduces the latency associated with sending data from a remote location to the core for processing.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Building a petabyte-scale data lake with one of the lowest TCOs and without compromising performance, scalability, and reliability.
INDUSTRIAL IOT
A fully Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enabled factory uses the latest in sensors, automation, augmented reality (AR), and analytics to ensure the highest quality product. This produces an avalanche of data, and that data needs to be stored and analyzed. While there are different locations in which that can take place, the best place to do that is at the edge, in order to minimize latency and to maximize responsiveness.
That edge gateway forms a pipeline. Low bandwidth data from nearby sources is aggregated into a single stream, and this stream is then processed quickly to detect and respond to critical conditions. Not every bit of data fed into the edge node is returned to the central cloud, and even less critical data is passed on to the data center for further processing. In the IIoT, speed is imperative to make quick decisions and the edge is critical in how quickly data is captured, processed and analyzed.
Because the data processed by IIoT has a real financial impact on a business, the edge needs to have ultra-reliable storage in a diverse set of form factors that have the performance necessary to minimize latency and maximize responsiveness.
Designed and tested to withstand some of the harshest environmental conditions, our industrial and commercial SD cards take full advantage of a powerful suite of features available in the industrial series of flash storage solutions.
