Globally, countries, cities, industries, and businesses are becoming digital to capitalize on the next wave of the Internet - the Internet of Everything (IoE), which we define as the connection of people, processes, data, and things. When people, processes, data, and things are connected, we believe it creates an opportunity to deliver better customer experiences, create new revenue streams and operating models to drive efficiency and produce value. Cisco's goal is to be a strategic partner to our customers by providing the solutions, people, partners, and experience as their customers move from traditional to digital businesses. They believe their customers’ journey to becoming digital businesses requires security, cloud, mobile, social and analytic technologies with a strong foundation of an intelligent network that is agile, simple and that provides real-time business insight. The move to digital is driving many of their customers to adopt entirely new IT architectures and organization structures. In their view, Cisco is delivering the architectural approach and solution-based results to help them reduce complexity, accelerate and grow, and manage risk in a world that is increasingly virtualized application-centric, cloud-based, analytics-driven, and mobile.

By 2018, 33% of all industry leaders will be disrupted by digitally enabled competitors (Source: IDC) Be a disruptor by developing and deploying an IoT strategy so you can tap into the value of connecting the unconnected. IoT is becoming critical for organizations today to understand where new sources of value could come from in their industry – whether it is from operational efficiencies, better customer experiences, safety or even new revenue models. Dell Technologies can help you become a disruptive force in your industry through IoT. We bring: • The industry’s broadest infrastructure portfolio • A curated technology and services partner program • Proven use case-specific solution blueprints

Embedded with chips and sensors, objects have started to ‘think’, ‘feel’ and ‘talk’. The Internet of Things (IoT) offers a myriad of possible applications. Huawei is eager to harness the potential of this new evolution. The Internet of Things involves multiple forms of M2M communications – Machine to Machine, machine to man, man to machine, and machine to mobile. Considered the next big IT wave following computers, the internet and mobile communications, M2M makes the idea of a ‘smart planet’ a reality. Huawei is at the forefront of efforts to drive forward this new trend and create the right conditions to unleash its potential. The first European projects in this field are already underway.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming how we live and work. With IoT solutions, you can connect and monitor assets from virtually anywhere for almost any industry, including: Automotive, Aviation, Energy, Healthcare, Transportation and Logistics, and more. AT&T IoT solutions can help you reach the bottom line faster by creating new business models, automating processes, and improving operational efficiencies. M2X Data Service is a cloud-based fully managed time-series data storage service for network-connected M2M devices and IoT. AT&T M2X provides time-series data storage, device management, message brokering, event triggering, alarming, geo-fencing, and data visualization for clients' Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) products and services.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is exactly what it sounds like: a network of physical things that are connected to the Internet, whether the “thing” is a watering system, a baby monitor, a thermostat, a factory conveyor belt or anything in between. Every device and application you can think of can be connected through IoT, and when combined with the cloud. At HP, they are thinking about what this means for communications service providers. HP’s new IoT architecture for Communications Service Providers is designed to deliver a standardized end-to-end platform that will help create new services and drive value from the data they manage. HPE is accelerating the path to data monetization in the IoT market through a combination of our field-proven IoT Platform, world-class IP, and expert IoT services. HPE addresses the automotive industry challenges, helping to develop the car of the future quicker. HPE Mobile Virtual Network Enabler -- The new HPE Mobile Virtual Network Enabler gives customers greater control over IoT devices that need cellular connectivity and services. It will foster the emergence of new, specialized IoT Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that resell IoT connectivity directly to customers at price points optimized for large scale machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT deployments. HPE MVNE provisioning, configuration, administration and billing services -- paired with wide area mobile network operator coverage -- change the economics of large-scale deployments by reducing IoT provisioning costs by up to 80 percent. HPE Universal IoT Platform Designed for massive scale, multi-vendor and multi-network support using the oneM2M Interoperability standard, the HPE Universal IoT Platform manages the HPE MVNE devices and provides multivendor IoT monitoring, reporting, and analytics services with carrier-grade reliability and scale. The platform supports long-range, low-power connectivity deployments such as LoRa and SIGFOX, as well as devices that use cellular, radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. New enhancements include: • Lightweight M2M standards support -- Delivers plug-and-play Interoperability between IoT devices and UIoT services. • Expanded device management -- Allows management of both SIM and non-SIM based devices across different systems, devices, and applications. • Increased LoRa gateway support -- Enables the use of multiple LoRa gateways with a common set of applications to simplify Device Provisioning and control in heterogeneous LoRa environments The Aruba ClearPass Universal Profiler and the Aruba 2540 Series Switches identify and inventory all IoT devices as they connect to the network, and drive down the per-port cost of wired IoT connectivity. The new ClearPass Universal Profiler automatically identifies the attributes of IoT devices as they attempt to connect to the network. This enables IT managers to catalog what IoT devices are on wired and wireless networks and assign the appropriate policies to each one. The Universal Profiler provides visibility and context regarding risk and performance issues derived via IoT devices. The Aruba 2540 Series Switches further protect IoT devices with unified role-based access. This feature identifies and assigns roles to IoT devices as they connect, prioritizing business-critical applications and controlling which network resources the devices can access. The 2540 Series Switches are optimized for small-to-medium density IoT enterprise edge deployments. Factory Asset Anomaly Detection and Remediation -- In collaboration with PTC and National Instruments, this Edgeline Systems offering enables early warning of potential failures, allowing maintenance techs to correct an issue before it becomes a major problem. Data Management at the Edge -- Developed with OSIsoft, this Edgeline Systems solution is designed for storing, managing and accessing time series data that is readily present in the operational technology and IoT world.
