Smart home data is flowing for the Samsung SmartThings platform
One hundred Webster dictionaries would fill a gigabyte of data and 100,000 would fill a terabyte. Samsung SmartThings, the electronics giant’s smart home platform, generates 150 terabytes of “interesting” data every day, according to SmartThings’ chief technology officer.
And that’s a significant increase from the previous year, which offers a singular hint at where the data numbers are headed based on the growth of internet-connected smart home devices.
“Out of that I would say 10 terabytes is really actionable,” said Robert Parker (pictured), chief technology officer of Samsung SmartThings. “A year ago, we would have been at 60 terabytes of what I would have called interesting data and maybe five terabytes were immediately actionable.”
Parker spoke with Jeff Frick (@JeffFrick), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the Sumo Logic Illuminate event in Burlingame, California. They discussed the challenge of managing data being driven increasingly by the use of mobile applications and ensuring both security and privacy in a complex partner ecosystem (see the full interview with transcript here). (* Disclosure below.)
Data from 2,000 products
The challenge of taking massive amounts of data and making it “actionable” is what is occupying much of the enterprise world today. For SmartThings, that means harnessing the intelligence generated from over 2,000 available Samsung devices, according to Parker.
“You can make a mobile application either on Google’s store or Apple’s really easily,” said Parker, who indicated that SmartThings’ Android application in the Google Play Store had been downloaded over 200 million times. “That gets you in there, but what you really need to do is manage the intelligence that comes from that. For us, it’s been exciting to take our decisions and make them data-driven.”
Parker’s organization has the additional responsibility of not only protecting the massive amounts of data being generated from its platform, but also ensuring privacy as well. This includes the processes inside SmartThings, and the ecosystem of partners that surround it.
“Security and privacy are both critical,” Parker said. “The challenge for both security and privacy is they really cut through your entire organization with every process and every partner.”
