What is the Internet of Things?
The network of physical
objects that contain
embedded technology to
communicate and interact
with their internal states or
the external environment.

What about security?
Access denied if not authenticated as administrators

• Intake millions of events per
second
• Easy processing on continuous
streams of data
• Correlate streaming with reference
data
• Guaranteed events delivery
• Elasticity of the cloud for scale up
or scale down
• Low startup costs
