What is M2M?

If Sci-Fi movies have taught us anything, it is that in the future machines will be able to communicate and make decisions by themselves. The future is actually already here thanks to technology known as M2M or machine-to-machine communication. M2M is all about enabling the flow of data between machines regardless of the type of machine or data. This technology allows for both wireless and wired systems to communicate with other devices.

M2M can include systems that are used in the industry such as sensory systems – comprising a device that captures an event (such as temperature, inventory level, etc.) that is relayed through a network (wireless, wired or hybrid) to an application that translates the captured event into meaningful information. However, modern M2M communication has expanded beyond a one-to-one connection and changed into a system of networks that transmits data to personal appliances.

While originally aimed at the industry, new developments in the field of M2M promise for it to become a breakthrough in business technologies. M2M will communicate devices in the same way that the Internet communicates computer systems to create the Internet of Things. These networks also allow an array of new business opportunities and connections between consumers and producers in terms of the products being sold.

For business, M2M brings endless possibilities as it allows for the creation of real time intelligent custom dashboards and web apps that will enable business to monitor their activities in real time. In addition, this will allow for business systems integration and the development of intelligent mobile apps that will make the jobs of business people much easier.

In short, M2M allows for intelligent collection, reception, and analysis of data in real time. It also allows for the optimization of business processes by making data collection and analysis a much easier job and making the data itself more reliable. This will prove to be very valuable for business decision makers.

Re-Architect

This methodology requires the most effort to implement but it results in the most optimised recurring cost and will provide the best scalability for apps. This involves re-adapting the code of applications and the heavy use of SAAS solutions in order to replace existing hosted applications.

Re-Platform

This method utilizes the power of  PAAS services, like transferring a database to an as-a-service model,  the use of containers for some apps or the use of network/security functions as a service. Greater scalability and lower cost of operation is achieved.

Re-Host (Lift & Shift)

the migration of workloads from  to the cloud without changing the architecture. Machines get to keep their  OS and apps. This is the quickest and easy way to migrate, but since its  utilising IAAS, its is also the most expensive on the long term.
