Cloud computing and the Internet of Things complement each other, but what are the differences between them?

Cloud computing and the Internet of Things are two major focuses in today's IT industry. They are very different, but at the same time they are inextricably linked - the Internet of Things collects countless amounts of data through an astonishing number of sensors, and cloud computing can intelligently process these massive amounts of data.

Cloud computing is the cornerstone of the development of the Internet of Things, and the Internet of Things is the largest user of cloud computing, promoting the development of cloud computing. The integration of the two is a perfect match and complements each other. In the era of big data, the integration of the two will further promote the mining of data value, make data value more apparent, and promote industrial explosion.

The Internet of Things is an Internet that connects everything. The core and foundation of the Internet of Things is still the Internet. It is a network that extends and expands on the basis of the Internet. The user end of the Internet of Things extends and expands to any object to exchange information and communicate with each other.

As the volume of IoT business increases, the demand for data storage and computing power will bring about requirements for cloud computing capabilities, so there is an IoT service called "Cloud IoT" based on cloud computing technology.

From the perspective of work architecture, the Internet of Things can be considered as a platform for cloud computing technology. With the support of cloud computing technology, the Internet of Things can better improve data storage and processing capabilities, thereby further improving its own technology. Without the support of cloud computing, the performance of the Internet of Things will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Compared with other traditional technologies, its significance will also be greatly reduced. Therefore, the Internet of Things has a strong dependence on cloud computing.

The connection between the Internet of Things and cloud computing will become closer and closer. With the support of cloud computing technology, the Internet of Things has been given stronger working capabilities, its usage rate has increased year by year, and the fields involved have become more and more extensive. Cloud computing has a broader development space for the Internet of Things.

Cloud computing provides a good storage space for the massive data generated by the Internet of Things. Cloud storage can use cluster applications, grid technology or distributed file systems to bring together a large number of different types of storage devices in the network through application software to work together and provide data storage and business access functions to the outside world.

Cloud computing is the core of the Internet of Things. Using the cloud computing model, real-time dynamic management and intelligent analysis of various items in the Internet of Things can be achieved. Cloud computing provides available, convenient, and on-demand network access for the Internet of Things. Without this tool, the massive amount of information generated by the Internet of Things cannot be transmitted, processed, and applied.

Cloud computing promotes the intelligent integration of the Internet of Things and the Internet, which is conducive to the construction of smart cities. From the perspective of technological development, the construction of smart cities requires the realization of comprehensive perception, interconnection and integrated applications through the new generation of information technology applications such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things represented by mobile technology. Industries such as medical care, transportation, and security all require huge data centers in the background and the support of cloud computing centers. Cloud computing centers are important infrastructure for smart cities. Data analysis and processing will be performed in the background, providing a good foundation for building smart cities.

4G has become an important carrier for promoting the development of cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and the mobile Internet industry. The application and breakthrough of 4G technology will strongly promote the innovation of cloud computing and the Internet of Things application models and the enrichment of content. With the opening of the 4G commercial door and the promotion of smart cities, the Internet of Things and cloud computing will have a greater place to play. The operation of 4G networks has given huge room for imagination for the intelligent integration of cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and the mobile Internet.
