Your running shoe tracks your workouts, sending the data to a mobile app. You can opt-in to smart metering so that a utility can load balance energy distribution. Similar sensor systems exist for rail, sea and air transportation. The underlying technology enabling IoT is Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications.

And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. Consolidating I/O also implies converged transport, meaning fewer cables (typically only 1 per server, 2 if teamed/redundant). And a converged transport also allows for fewer switches needed on the network. Mobile Work. (4).

Virtualizing I/O and converging the transport. Transport can be Ethernet, FCoE, Infiniband, or others. The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc. Mobile Work.
