IBM's Smarter Planet strategy took a major technological step forward with the introduction of IBM MessageSight, a new appliance designed to help organizations manage and communicate with the billions of mobile devices and sensors found in systems such as automobiles, traffic management systems, smart buildings and household appliances.
Over the next 15 years, the number of machines and sensors connected to the Internet will explode. According to IMS Research, there will be more than 22 billion web-connected devices by 2020.These new devices will generate more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of new data every day , while every hour enough information is consumed by Internet traffic to fill seven million DVDs.
Building on the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) technology, IBM MessageSight delivers the performance, value and simplicity that organizations need to accommodate the growing multitude of mobile devices and sensors.
"When we launched our Smarter Planet strategy nearly five years ago, our strategic belief was that the world was going to be profoundly changed as it became more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. IBM MessageSight is a major technological step forward in continuing that strategy," said Marie Wieck, General Manager, WebSphere, IBM.
The ability of IBM MessageSight to handle and route tremendous volumes of messages makes it ideal for those who are looking to connect and infuse intelligence into cities and across industries such as automotive, healthcare and finance.
