M2M not facing big data challenge, yet
Big data deluge has yet to hit the machine-to-machine (M2M) industry as connected devices are still low in number, note market observers, who anticipate this challenge will come soon and affect M2M at the network, application and storage layers. By Liau Yun Qing, ZDNet Asia Sydney-based Telsyte analyst, Alvin Lee, explained that in Australia, for instance, there currently are under 1 million M2M connections so traffic generated by such connections is still "very manageable" when companies know the requirements of each [...]
