IoT is at the core or many Digital Transformation initiatives with the goal of re-inventing a company's business model. We all agree that collecting relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be stored. However, with the rapid development of IoT devices and ongoing business model transformation, we are not able to predict the volume and growth of IoT data. And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not apply either.

Is SaaS Dead? | @CloudExpo @stackArmor #SaaS #Cloud #SDN #AI #DevOps

Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here Is SaaS Dead? Both SaaS vendors and SaaS buyers are going "all-in" to hyperscale IaaS platforms such as AWS, which is disrupting the SaaS value proposition. Why should the enterprise SaaS consumer pay for the SaaS service if their data is resident in adjacent AWS S3 buckets? If both SaaS sellers and buyers are using the same cloud tools, automation and pay-per-transaction model offered by IaaS platforms, then why not host the "shrink-wrapped" software in the customers' cloud? Further, serverless computing, cloud marketplaces and DevOps are changing the economics of hosting and delivering software.
