There will be tens of billions of devices connected to the Internet by 2020, throwing off terabytes of data every day. This will include everything from consumer gadgets like Apple Watches and Nest thermostats to jet engines and entire power plants.
There are already plenty of massive datacenters that store music, photos, workout information, and other consumer data. But, GE believes that industrial data, which is growing twice as fast as any other sector, needs its own secure, heavy-duty cloud that can hold and process information that's not always in the best shape.
That's why GE announced that it's going to launch the first cloud service designed specifically for industrial data and analytics.
The Predix Cloud - built around GE's Predix software platform - will allow airlines, hospitals, oil companies and other users to quickly capture and analyze large volumes of many different kinds of industrial data – from 3D MRI images to locomotive exhaust data - in a secure environment.
The Predix Cloud is important since the volume of machine data is growing so fast, and also because this fire hose won't turn off anytime soon. According to estimates, businesses are planning to invest $60 trillion in the digital infrastructure over the next 15 years. Analyzing data faster and more efficiently in a secure space could save companies billions of dollars every year.
The Predix Cloud will also allow users to handle data from different cloud environments, give access to app developers, but also silo data according to regulatory requirements.
