Managing this complex environment is more difficult than ever, but that fact seems to be lost on the users. As one year prepares to turn into another, it's a good time to take a step back and look at how the deck is stacking up for the future of technology. Times are really changing: we've got self-driving cars on the streets of Silicon Valley, and this year, new iPhones were purchased via telepresence. The sheer number of devices fueling the M2M market explosion points to an important issue, however, one that is overlooked way too often. M2M connections are powered by applications and software, and software requires updates and licensing agreements. How these updates and licensing structures are handled and maintained can truly make or break an M2M connection. Technology innovation continues at a blurring pace, and this innovation has resulted in ubiquitous computing that spans practically every aspect of our lives. I've seen reports that anticipate 26 billion connected devices by 2020. These devices, combined with cloud-based services, present amazing opportunities for organizations around the world, and I'm proud of the role Red Hat is playing to help customers embrace this digital transformation the open source way.
