The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to have a real-time database behind every sensor, with billions to trillions of devices predicted. This will lead to an increasing number of new data streams, making instant analytics on real-time data crucial for digital transformation. The infrastructure to support this includes databases that can ingest, analyze, and store massive amounts of data in real-time, providing a system of record while simultaneously offering real-time analytics. These databases must also be able to respond to and integrate well with familiar ecosystems, scale online, and provide enterprise-level service quality. With immediate access to both real-time and historical data, companies can shape customer experiences and accelerate applications for wearables, drones, and vehicles in the moment.
