The Internet is evolving with the human – human participation increasing. Right now the Machine-Machine interactions are limited, but in the future, it’s possible for both the human-machine and machine-machine (M2M) to participate in a symbiotic manner. This is where the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing comes into picture. Read more about Internet of Things and Cloud Computing here!

The Internet is evolving with the human – human participation increasing. Right
now the Machine-Machine interactions are limited, but in the future, it’s
possible for both the human-machine and machine-machine (M2M) to
participate in a symbiotic manner. This is where the Internet of Things (IoT) and
Cloud Computing comes into picture.
Basic Premise of IoT and Cloud Computing
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a fusion of the physical and digital world. It allows
devices to connect and communicate with each other over the Internet. In an
IoT environment, millions of “things” or “devices” will be interconnected and
uniquely identified on the Internet.
The IoT devices will communicate with each other producing large amounts of
data which will have to be stored, processed, accessed and analyzed; and also
contribute to global data traffic.
The idea is to move beyond just collecting data and monitoring the devices. It
enables analytical and sensing services to use this vast amount of data and
provide crucial information about the functioning and how they are working.
Based on this information, corrective actions can take place.

3. As more number of devices are connected, the data generated by them will grow
exponentially. The traditional IT infrastructure will be unable to handle this
tremendous pressure on its resources.
Cloud Computing is the solution for this data influx problem of IoT. It provides
the virtual infrastructure for storage, network and computing power. This
enables businesses and users to integrate applications; monitor devices; use
storage devices and analytics tools; visualization platforms; and reduce client
delivery time. Applications are available on anytime, anyplace and anywhere.
Characteristics of IoT Cloud Computing
1. On-Demand Self Service: This service is available at any time and any user
can use this without requiring any special permissions.
2. Broad Network Access: Devices can make use of the Cloud Computing
resources from an network, as long as they are connected to the internet
using network access.
3. Resource Pooling: In IoT environment, every device is allocated a unique IP
address, which can be easily identified. Resource sharing in Cloud
environment, lets users know which resource is free and available for use. It
allows them to access what they want and when they want it easily.
4. Rapid Elasticity: Cloud Computing allows you freedom to expand or remove
any software feature or resources as and when required. This elastic nature
of the Cloud, increase your computing, networking or storage power.
5. Measured Service: In the IoT context, you Pay-As-Use (PPU) for the service
that is utilized in the Cloud. Any communication between the connected
devices in the Cloud, will need to pay for the service.
6. Deployment methods: The Internet of Things Cloud Computing can be
deployed in any of the four models: Private cloud, Public cloud, Community
cloud or the Hybrid cloud. Depending on your unique business needs,
requirements, applications and usage opt for a suitable deployment method
for your applications.
The growing Internet of Things (IoT) will change the way in which Cloud
Computing will affect our lives. The cloud and the “things” are tightly coupled in
the Internet of things.
