Things present in the surrounding are communicated and control the objects without human intervention. IoT helps in performing two way communications among various heterogeneous devices by using cloud storage and cloud computing. IoT mainly concentrates on communication, so the vast amount of data generated from plenty of devices is to be managed as it consumes lot of memory. Data management includes data processing techniques such as data filtering, aggregation, compression, data archiving. Various processing techniques eliminate the irrelevant data, reduce communication overhead and enhance bandwidth, storage space and Quality of service.
