#News(IoTStack) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Already, research from Kollective has shown that as many as 25% of businesses struggle to install patches and updates due to network scaling issues, while 1 in 10 simply do not have the bandwidth to install updates across their entire organisation. These distribution concerns can only be made worse as thousands of internet-enabled ‘things’ enter the work environment.🐾
While video streaming technologies may not seem relevant to the IoT on the surface, the application of enterprise content delivery networks (ECDN) could provide a potential answer to these distribution concerns. ECDNs have been used for over a decade now to deliver and stream high quality video content at scale over legacy networks – but there is no reason why the exact same peer-to-peer technology couldn’t be used to distribute IoT software updates in the same way.
Companies like Kollective have now been able to adapt their existing video sharing software to distribute Windows 10 updates at scale and, soon, they will be able to the same with IoT software and OS updates.By leveraging peer-to peer-network architecture, software defined ECDNs decrease the bandwidth load on an organisation’s network. The greater the number of peers across a complex distributed enterprise, the more efficient content delivery becomes compared to legacy hardware-based WAN optimisation solutions
