This article is part of an MIT SMR initiative exploring how technology is reshaping the practice of management.

Two zettabytes of data is something like twice the total global IP traffic we'll generate this year, according to Cisco. The IoT data deluge is, by the way, the first of four lessons drawn from early IoT adopters by contributing writer Howard Baldwin for his article in Computerworld.
