IoT: Internet of Things

These days it seems anything with an on/off switch can be connected to the internet. More and more electronics have internet connection capabilities, mostly for the purpose of convenience. Wouldn’t it be nice if your alarm clock could tell your coffee maker to start brewing so that your coffee is ready when you want it? How convenient would it be if your copier could automatically order more toner when it’s starting to get low? These are just a few examples of the concept of IoT, or the Internet of Things.

Blue Ridge Cloud Creates Solutions to the Challenges Presented by IoT

More and more businesses are seeing the benefits of connecting everyday objects to the internet network, but with the benefits come some challenges. Blue Ridge Cloud has ready solutions for these challenges.

Challenge #1: Security Risks.Many people have asked the same basic question: if every object is connected to the internet, what’s to stop someone from hacking into our network through a toaster or a coffee pot? It’s a valid point, the risk involved in IoT. Malware and viruses are still a concern for computer systems and other technological devices. Some steal personal information that can lead to identity theft and other problems.

Solution: Internet of Things Security. Blue Ridge Cloud can put security measures in place that will protect your network from malware, viruses, and hackers. Anti-virus software, email monitoring, firewalls, password protection, and many other protective solutions can establish a thorough internet of things security system for your business’s network.

Challenge #2: Network Crowding. The more devices that are connected to a network, the slower the bandwidth, making many different processes, from downloading files to making video calls, much more challenging. You can’t afford to have day to day operations slowed down because of an overcrowded internet connection.

Solution: Dedicated Internet Connection. One of the easiest solutions is to switch from a shared connection to a dedicated connection. A shared connection may be used by multiple businesses in the same building or area, but a dedicated connection is established for your business only. You don’t have to share bandwidth with others, meaning you’ll experience faster speeds. Another advantage is that you will have control over the number and type of devices that can access your connection. Blue Ridge Cloud offers additional solutions to boost the speed of your network connections once you establish your dedicated internet connection.
