Cloud computing is becoming increasingly important to
many companies as they fnd that the resources needed
to maintain large numbers of desktops and keep servers
running reliably is a drain on their IT budgets. A recent
survey of 800 CIOs in Europe commissioned by Easynet
in mid 2011 found that 49% were planning to increase
their spending on cloud services in the next twelve
months, while over half were doing this to save money
and 45% hoped to improve access from dispersed
locations. Forrester Research estimates the total cloud
market as $25.5 bn in 2011. For any business thinking
of making the transition to cloud services, fnding the right
service provider is the frst critical step in migration to a
cloud solution

Networked “embedded intelligence” is what pervasive
computing and M2M are all about. The information
coming from a device can be just as valuable, if not more
valuable, than the device itself. M2M had unleashed a
wave of productivity and effciencies previously unseen.
When processes or manufactured objects are continually
sending feld intelligence back, companies that utilize this
information are being able to shed costs, explore new
revenue opportunities, and solve customer problems as
never before
The advent of Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
communications coupled with advances in device
networking technologies is paving way to connect almost
any peripheral device to any network or the Internet.
