Impact of Internet of Things (IoT) on Cloud Networking Infrastructure: Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized cloud networking infrastructure by significantly increasing data volumes and introducing new challenges and opportunities. IoT devices generate immense data streams that require efficient processing and storage in the cloud, posing scalability, security, and network congestion challenges. Solutions like edge computing alleviate these issues by decentralizing data processing closer to IoT devices. Cloud providers offer specialized IoT platforms for managing device connectivity and data analytics, facilitating seamless integration. Use cases across smart cities and industrial IoT demonstrate how cloud networking supports real-time data analytics and operational efficiencies. Moving forward, ensuring secure and efficient IoT-cloud integration will be pivotal for leveraging IoT's transformative potential while managing its complexities.
