IoT has created a tidal wave that data savvy organizations can turn into profitable business solutions. Most IoT data comes from sensors, which are now attached to almost every device imaginable, from factory floor machines and agricultural fields to your cell phone and toothbrush. But IoT is forcing companies to rethink their data architectures to ingest, process, and analyze streaming data in real-time.

To help us understand the impact of IoT on data architectures, we invited Dan Graham to our show for a second time. Dan is a former product marketing manager at both IBM and Teradata, renowned for combining deep technical knowledge with industry marketing savvy. During his tenure at those companies, he was responsible for MPP data management systems, data warehouses, and data lakes, and most recently, the Internet of Things.
