The document discusses the opportunities and challenges presented by the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data. It notes that by 2020, over 50 billion devices will be connected as part of the IoT, generating huge volumes of data. This data will need to be managed and analyzed at massive scales. New database technologies are required that can handle the flexibility, scalability, analytics and unified views needed for IoT applications. The document outlines Bosch's IoT solutions and provides two use cases, one for managing tool asset data and one for capturing field data from vehicles, that demonstrate how their IoT platform addresses these big data challenges.
