CONVERGENCE OF BIG DATA, IOT AND CLOUD COMPUTING FOR BETTER FUTURE

With digital transformation, technologies such as big data, IoT and cloud storage are on the topmost agenda of all the businesses. Each of these technologies is no longer a sophisticated ‘nice to have’ technology. They have become a necessity. Although the three distinct technologies evolved independently, they are increasingly becoming more intertwined. With more adaptation and development, we are seeing a persistent convergence of these three technologies in a way that the capabilities of the technologies are aligned in the best possible way. Big data, IoT and cloud computing are distinct disciples that have evolved separately over time. However, they are increasingly becoming interdependent. The concept of big data and IoT has been around for many years, but its mainstream application started only recently.
