Wray took the time to speak with Williams regarding the future of IoT. Basho recently introduced a time series database which runs on top of their data platform. Basho has capitalized on the fact that there was initially no purpose built solution to handle linear data. They then built that solution with key value and object store features. Basho stresses showing businesses how to use their data to their advantage, focusing on real use cases that drive value.

Basho utilizes a masterless architecture. Wray notes that NoSQL is a young technology, as are relational databases on the whole, with the potential for future discoveries as companies begin to leverage their collected data in new ways. In IoT, 90% of data collected is never touched. It often sits without review, or is thrown away. Wray continued, noting that IoT is about end devices, asking how can a company's data become a workload that has value?" Basho helps companies accomplish this by tying data to workloads specifically so clients do not have to figure out schemas, working at scale, or applying analytics. They can use Basho's preset settings to drag in a common case workload and run it.
