This document discusses how IoT and data analytics are integrated. It outlines how real-time sensor data, the explosion of mobile devices, and cloud computing are enabling more predictive analytics and optimization of infrastructure. It also references an IoT reference model that shows how data is accumulated from physical devices and controllers at the edge, then analyzed and aggregated as it moves up to application and reporting levels. The document encourages learning more about integrating IoT and data analytics using resources like Azure IoT and MVA courses.
