IOT V/S BIG DATA

IOT V/S BIG DATA

Meaning

IoT is a global system of interrelated computing devices – both mechanical and digital – that are able to sense, collect, and exchange data over the Internet without any human intervention. Big Data, on the other hand, is a term that describes the large sets of data – both structured and unstructured – from a variety of sources and that is so large that it’s almost impossible to process using traditional data mining and software techniques.


Concept

IoT is not the same as big data since neither ‘Things’ are required to collect or generate data, nor do applications need to store the data centrally in the Cloud. The IoT aims at providing interconnection between devices to create a smart environment thereby making machines smart enough to bypass human intermediaries.

Big Data, as the name suggests, refers to massive volumes of data generated from a variety of sources and analyzing those data, mostly human-generated data, to support longer-duration use cases such as predictive maintenance. The concept is to find insights in new and emerging types of data and content that lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.
