Integrating IoT and Edge Data into Enterprise Pipelines

More than 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2030. Two-thirds of the devices will be in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, generating, consuming, and exchanging data. A substantial amount of relevant data will be captured and processed at the edge rather than the core. Accordingly, enterprise data pipelines must evolve to incorporate IoT and edge data from edge companies, which require different considerations in terms of volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. While many concepts and technologies in enterprise data pipelines remain applicable, other aspects, such as machine learning and analytics, will demand additional preparations for operation with the edge environment. A new integration perspective is presented based on directions for implementing the principles using industry standards and technologies.
