Nine billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices today, and the number is growing. Organizations must consider how to manage the complexities of connecting to a seemingly unlimited number of devices and how to effectively integrate IoT data with data from other sources, such as internal data stores. Business value comes to those who improve their data capabilities—integration, automation, and analysis—not to those who simply connect the most devices to the network. Watson IoT is a set of capabilities that learn from, and infuse intelligence into, the physical world. Firms can securely connect, collect and process IoT data quickly and easily with the Watson IoT Platform.

The IoT generated data, and it is extremely varied, noisy, time-sensitive, and often confidential. Complexity grows as billions of devices interact in a moving world. This presents a growing challenge that will test the limits of programmable computing. Cognitive IoT is our opportunity to fully exploit this resource. Cognitive IoT is not explicitly programmed. It learns from experiences with the environment and interactions with people. It brings true Machine Learning to systems and processes so they can understand your goals, then integrate and analyze the relevant data to help you achieve them.

With over 12 billion connected devices in the world, there are now smarter "things" than people, collecting and connecting all that valuable data designed to facilitate the way we work. With its technology-agnostic approach and industry expertise, Cognizant is providing today's leading companies a comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT) roadmap to transform their operations and business models into the 21st-century enterprise. Cognizant brings together the right blend of industry knowledge, strategy, design thinking and technology capabilities to help companies digitize the physical world. They offer IoT consulting, strategy, implementation and operational support to help untangle the complexity of IoT and align a solution to address the concerns. Their managed innovation process simplifies the complexity of IoT to take ideas from the drawing board to prototype, and then scale the best ones with their proven global delivery model.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is exactly what it sounds like: a network of physical things that are connected to the Internet, whether the “thing” is a watering system, a baby monitor, a thermostat, a factory conveyor belt or anything in between. Every device and application you can think of can be connected through IoT, and when combined with the cloud. At HP, they are thinking about what this means for communications service providers. HP’s new IoT architecture for Communications Service Providers is designed to deliver a standardized end-to-end platform that will help create new services and drive value from the data they manage. HPE is accelerating the path to data monetization in the IoT market through a combination of our field-proven IoT Platform, world-class IP, and expert IoT services. HPE addresses the automotive industry challenges, helping to develop the car of the future quicker. HPE Mobile Virtual Network Enabler -- The new HPE Mobile Virtual Network Enabler gives customers greater control over IoT devices that need cellular connectivity and services. It will foster the emergence of new, specialized IoT Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that resell IoT connectivity directly to customers at price points optimized for large scale machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT deployments. HPE MVNE provisioning, configuration, administration and billing services -- paired with wide area mobile network operator coverage -- change the economics of large-scale deployments by reducing IoT provisioning costs by up to 80 percent. HPE Universal IoT Platform Designed for massive scale, multi-vendor and multi-network support using the oneM2M Interoperability standard, the HPE Universal IoT Platform manages the HPE MVNE devices and provides multivendor IoT monitoring, reporting, and analytics services with carrier-grade reliability and scale. The platform supports long-range, low-power connectivity deployments such as LoRa and SIGFOX, as well as devices that use cellular, radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. New enhancements include: • Lightweight M2M standards support -- Delivers plug-and-play Interoperability between IoT devices and UIoT services. • Expanded device management -- Allows management of both SIM and non-SIM based devices across different systems, devices, and applications. • Increased LoRa gateway support -- Enables the use of multiple LoRa gateways with a common set of applications to simplify Device Provisioning and control in heterogeneous LoRa environments The Aruba ClearPass Universal Profiler and the Aruba 2540 Series Switches identify and inventory all IoT devices as they connect to the network, and drive down the per-port cost of wired IoT connectivity. The new ClearPass Universal Profiler automatically identifies the attributes of IoT devices as they attempt to connect to the network. This enables IT managers to catalog what IoT devices are on wired and wireless networks and assign the appropriate policies to each one. The Universal Profiler provides visibility and context regarding risk and performance issues derived via IoT devices. The Aruba 2540 Series Switches further protect IoT devices with unified role-based access. This feature identifies and assigns roles to IoT devices as they connect, prioritizing business-critical applications and controlling which network resources the devices can access. The 2540 Series Switches are optimized for small-to-medium density IoT enterprise edge deployments. Factory Asset Anomaly Detection and Remediation -- In collaboration with PTC and National Instruments, this Edgeline Systems offering enables early warning of potential failures, allowing maintenance techs to correct an issue before it becomes a major problem. Data Management at the Edge -- Developed with OSIsoft, this Edgeline Systems solution is designed for storing, managing and accessing time series data that is readily present in the operational technology and IoT world.

Singtel in partnership with Ericsson recently launched an IoT ecosystem for operators, networks and devices. The IoT ecosystem integrates stand-alone IoT applications into a single solution with the aim of solving the fragmentation of the IoT market and make it more open. The solution will provide consumers with an overview and control over all of their connected devices, including personal, automotive, and smart home.
