Editorial: From traditional Information Technology to Serverless. A novel approach to monitor mobile phones using concepts and principles of Industrial Internet of Things

Abstract

The incorporation of smartphones and smart devices in daily business activities and processes is widespread in several industries. Due to its high use, it is required to monitor the device’s health and uses patterns to achieve business continuity and conduct code compliance.The monitoring activity is currently implemented in the traditional IT paradigm, either on premises or in the cloud, deploying the solution in servers with fixed capacity and cost involved. This research proposes a novel approach to changing the paradigm by considering smart devices as one live entity with many health metrics ready to exploit their telemetry for monitoringIIoT concepts. The proposed approach introduces the serverless computing paradigm in the cloud to implement IIoT telemetry gather activity at lower costs with scalable capacity, and pro-poses the new architecture that can be implemented by different enterprises in any industry where smartphones and devices are part of daily business activities
