Abstract

IoT represent nowadays an established and wide set of technologies with still an immense growth potential and room for new applications and use cases in the near future.
However, when handling such technologies in real-life applications and business, the widespread distribution of IoT and complex devices imposes new challenges to be practically managed.
The potentially huge number of devices requires first of all automation capabilities, supporting any use case in order to be human manageable. This includes the capability to remotely control, configure, protect and update devices in a exponentially scalable way. Furthermore, the enhancements in IoT allowed the explosion of opportunity to conceive new scenarios, based on device ubiquity and on the real-time generation, transmission and collection of data, being this one of the most contributing technology evolution leading to the current “Big Data era”.
When projecting this technological landscape to industrial and business cases computational efficiency, business continuity and security (including both the protection of the corporate data assets and the defense against cyber-attacks on a much wider perimeter and distributed perimeter) become crucial aspects to be faced, requiring the integration of other emerging technologies and different architectural approaches such as with the Hybrid Cloud.

Keywords: Automation, Device Management, IoT, Hybrid Cloud, Security
