With an escalating growth trajectory, that Gartner predicts to reach 26 billion units by 2020, IoT and its smart devices are poised to revolutionize not only user-machine interaction but also the way machines engage with one another. But as IoT connects the critical infrastructure equipment to the Internet, the protection of the existing IT networks as well as infra equipment within the enterprise is extremely critical. Accomplishing these with advanced security enabled IoT solution coupled with analytics to understand the performance of installed infrastructure is Bangalore based 6th Energy Technologies. Their IoT solution enables transparency, visibility and manageability of infrastructure equipment.
