Deploying IoT to enable cyber-physical systems
In recent years, IoT has left the labs and started to go mainstream - due to the miniaturization of computing units, the ubiquity of connectivity and the pervasiveness of digitization. The prospect that many physical systems would become cyber-enabled has gained strong support across many industries. However, the actual adoption of IoT, while growing fast, is still today limited to specific applications – such as in the transportation sector, or to monitor industrial equipment – applications that have been relying on data connectivity for a long time.
Progress has been limited by practical complexities, lacks of standards, scattered ecosystems, unit costs that have not yet benefited from economies of scale, and inertia in traditional industries. The real promises of IoT, where cyberphysical systems seamlessly interconnect to leverage the knowledge from data and unleash unprecedented value, are still to be realized.
There is however increasing evidence that the situation is changing fast, and that enterprises and industries are considering IoT a core enabler of their business in the future. Summarizing this view, IDC (a consultancy), estimates that ‘by 2018, 60% of Global 1000 Companies will integrate IT and OT at the Technology, Process, Security and Organization levels’.
HPE is an IT company which enables business and operational processes of its clients in a wide range of industries, and supports their transformation from traditional towards cyberphysical operations. As such, IoT has become a key driver of HPE strategy. In this talk, I will describe some of the fundamentals that we are focusing on when designing and implementing IT infrastructure systems that help our enterprise customers run efficiently their IoT operations, and realize the expected ROI.
Specifically, the talk will focus on four main pillars that supporting IT infrastructure needs to provide in order to enable IoT based cyber-physical systems:
- Ubiquituous, Always-on, Reliable Connectivity
- Edge and Cloud computing
- Models for efficient “things” operations leveraging open standards (focus on oneM2M standard)
- Open, scalable, context aware microservices and applications frameworks
One major theme of the presentation will be that significant value can be unleashed as business processes and policies are pushed closer to where the data is generated (rather than pushing data to the business processes), and by streamlining of devices, networks and application frameworks.
About the panel speaker:
Stéphane Paccaud has been working with HPE for 12 years, in various international business development, most recently focusing on the HPE Universal IoT platform, for which he currently leads the partnerships and business development globally.
Prior to joining HP, Stéphane had spent several years with Lucent Technologies (now Nokia) in product management and business development roles, and before that he worked at SFR, a major telecom provider in France. Stéphane has also earlier spent several years in various industries as management consultant and engineer (aerospace, automotive, insurance).
Stéphane holds an MBA from INSEAD, an engineering Master degree from the ISAE (Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace), and has spent 2 years as postgraduate student in Russia at the MAI (Moscow Aviation Institute).
