Fujitsu's Vision for Next-generation IoT Network

The Internet of Things (IoT) will greatly change lifestyles and business processes. It will necessitate moving from networks that simply connect things to networks that generate intelligence through the linking of things in the real world with information in the digital world. This requires scaling up information and communications technology (ICT) systems to enable them to accommodate the increasing number of things being connected to networks, to deal with temporal and regional fluctuations in demand, and to adapt to the diverse requirements of new services and applications that are continually being launched. In response to these challenges, Fujitsu envisions a next-generation network of distributed computing that facilitates dynamic coordination between networking and computing. This paper describes Fujitsu's vision of the next-generation network and the new value such a network creates.
