In 2009 Gartner estimates<\/a> that roughly .9 billion devices were connected to the Internet — the Internet of Things. \u00a0By 2020, they estimate that the number of devices will increase to 26 billion. \u00a0By 2020, IoT product and service providers will be generating incremental revenues of more than $300 billion from the technology.<\/p>\n

Two areas to be particularly affected by this rapid 30-fold growth in connected devices are data centers and supply chain management.<\/p>\n

Michael Burkett<\/a>,\u00a0Gartner managing vice president, said that<\/a>\u00a0“supply chain leaders must design their processes to operate in this digital business world. \u00a0This includes fulfilling the new expectations of customers and the volatile demands that digital marketing will create. \u00a0A future supply chain will meet those expectations by converging people, business and things in a digital value network, and incorporating fast-emerging capabilities such as IoT and smart machines into this design strategy.”<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Biscotti<\/a>, research director at Gartner, said that<\/a>\u00a0“IoT deployments will generate large quantities of data that need to be processed and analyzed in real time. \u00a0Processing large quantities of IoT data in real time will increase as a proportion of workloads of data centers, leaving providers facing new security, capacity and analytics challenges.”<\/p>\n
