How IoT will impact the Asean cloud landscape

It might be early days for internet of things (IoT) deployments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) region, but experts believe they will have a deep impact on the cloud landscape across the wider Asia-Pacific (Apac) area it is part of.
The IoT is at the heart of mobility, social business, big data analytics and cloud. According to Mayur Sahni, senior research manager cloud and services at IDC Asia-Pacific, internet connectivity underpins this third platform. “Over the past year, IoT developments have been brought to market that use these pillars in different ways,” he said.
