Hmmmm...
"the cost of moving data, especially large amounts of IoT data, is far more expensive than processing the data locally"
Hmmm, I just got an idea for how the Mirai folks could make some money...
Wikibon invokes the old gods to make six tech predictions for 2017
Analysis Wikibon's chief technology guy, David Floyer, has put out his top six disruptive tech tips for 2017, seeing that ARM and Open CAPI will separately grow at Intel's Xeon expense, the cloud at on-premises' Server SAN expense, and flash at disk drive's expense, while XPoint will be a 2017 dud. Here's his list: AWS will …

Still in development
David Floyer's predictions have been researched since 2001, and it's all still "in development." Yes, it's best to move data the least amount of distance. We really needed prognostications like this? "Look, we can have a server, processes data on it, and store it to local drives! It's a server-SAN!"
Now let's imagine that data processing on the hard drives is widely available. The drives now need to know about the file system, which means drivers for that. They need to know about the data structures on the drive, so there needs to be something for that. Before long, you have: a computer with Linux, with an RLL controller with a drive attached! Wow! Uh, didn't we get away from this, maybe a decade-and-a-half ago?
Somehow, the old adage of diminishing returns applies here...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
