Big Data and the Internet of Things

This book begins with a chapter title that contains two of the most hyped technology concepts in information architecture today: Big Data and the Internet of Things. Since this book is intended for enterprise architects and information architects, as well as anyone tasked with designing and building these solutions or concerned about the ultimate success of such projects, we will avoid the hype. Instead, we will provide a solid grounding on how to get these projects started and ultimately succeed in their delivery. To do that, we first review how and why these concepts emerged, what preceded them, and how they might fit into your emerging architecture.
