Google's new cloud service shows increasing demand for the IoT

Google has launched a new cloud-based service called IoT Core that enables its enterprise customers to manage their IoT devices, as well as collect and analyze the data those devices produce. IoT Core has access to all its data processing, analytics, and machine learning capabilities of Google's cloud and supports devices equipped with Intel, ARM, and Marvel processors. It's worth noting, however, that companies must manage IoT Core themselves, without assistance from Google. The service is currently available in preview mode with no stated release date.
