This means more cell towers, more small cells, more Wi-Fi, more advanced technology like LTE and MIMO, more spectrum, and more Ethernet optical fiber links connecting all these wireless and data center nodes.
Remember, the benchmark is Consumer Web companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter, which deal with hundreds of millions of human data-creating nodes, amounting to petabytes of flow.
Graphs: Neo4J is a special purpose database designed for maintaining large graphs: data where the data items are nodes, with edges representing the connections between the nodes.
Gartner thinks there needs to be a wired backbone to the digital home, with wireless nodes also serving data to places the wires do not reach.

Decoupling refresh cycles lets data center customers purchase server compute nodes, which are essentially very small motherboards (processor, system memory, boot environment, management, and connection to a local network fabric), separately from rack-level data center network interfaces (1GbE and 10GbE), separately from mass storage (hard disks and solid-state drives).

However, the potential benefits of the explosion in number of nodes and the volume of data is being squandered due to low levels of trust, concerns about security, and barriers to monetization.
With Zigbee in place, Ember began selling chips to others and building nodes that could send and receive data.
Hadoop moves data from the file system to memory and between nodes and back out again.

All you have to know is that Watson is not connected to the Internet, contains more than ten trillion bytes of data and operates the equivalent of 2, 800 computer nodes on an ultra-high-speed network.
FORBES: On First Night Watson Went From Fearsome to Flummoxed To First
These devices should just relay data rather than changing it and the argument against having intermediary nodes doing things like modifying web pages is that this can, at the least, introduce performance and reliability problems.
But as the software technology matures, it will increasingly be able to lash together thousands of low-cost computing nodes and create a flexible, high-performance corporate data center.
FORBES: If Cloud Computing Is Here, Then Where Is My Jet Pack?
Each node contained a small processor, a sensor and a low-powered radio with just enough power to talk to adjacent nodes and the network was just smart enough to reconfigure itself to reroute data whenever one node got damaged.
As Big Data environments scale, such as at Yahoo, managing 200 petabytes across 50, 000 nodes require that more be added to deliver additional storage capacity.
Hybrids can be a mix of legacy systems, newer architectures, and private clouds in enterprise data centers together with service provider offers such as colocation for custom resources, micro-nodes, hosted private, virtual private, and public clouds, he says, arguing that such architectures require a rich set of network capabilities to integrate into a seamless whole.
