This presentation introduces you to machine-to-machine technology and cloud services. It describes the Verizon end-to-end solution for machine-to-machine with cloud capabilities. It takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
Businesses are using machine-to-machine technology to manage operational costs in five areas:Travel time required to collect dataEmployees needed to capture the dataVehicles required to reach locationsInsurance required for those vehiclesPerson hours needed to support dispatch and data gathering
Cloud services enable secure, online access to computing resources such as memory, processing, storage and bandwidth. This technology opens the door for efficiencies due to the use of pooled resources and resulting economies of scale. Examples of cloud services include Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service. These service-based models help businesses like yours pay for computing needs as required, which can help reduce both upfront and overall investments in IT architecture—especially helpful to your bottom-line when your business needs change. You can scale your IT-enabled capabilities and better manage costs by paying only for the actual resources your company needs. Cloud services also provide geographically dispersed, redundant architecture for disaster recovery and failover, plus 24-hour monitoring and remote backup. Your IT infrastructure is shared among many users, so your cost is low due to economies of scale. And the platform is provider agnostic—data centers that form the cloud can connect multiple national, local and international carriers.
Today’s agencies are using cloud services for:Offloading highly utilized applications and services to high-performance computersApplication development and distributionRemote access to informationApplication hostingData storage and remote back upBusiness intelligence and analytics
Cloud computing enables cost-effective, flexible architecture that can help improve efficiencies, increase productivity, and streamline operations when deploying machine-to-machine solutions.

Terremark has a government division which is a GSA 70 contractot. It provides security and network connectivity to several federal organizations
One of the most demanding challenges faced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is payment fraud. In 2009, the television news program 60 Minutes reported that CMS lost more than $60 billion to Medicare fraud that year alone. The CMS want to deploy an anti-fraud prevention system to reduce the number of incidents. Solutions from Verizon and Terremark can help. Devices embedded with wireless chips containing biometric functionality can be used to verify the identity of Medicare patients. Each patient’s fingerprints can be scanned and compared to recorded fingerprints stored in the Terremark cloud for identity verification. Once a patient’s identity has been confirmed, a verification code is generated and submitted to the Medicare payment system for approval. A code is required for each bill submitted by a provider. If the verification code matches the code stored in Terremark’s database, reimbursement will be paid. Otherwise, the system rejects the bill, helping CMS reduce fraud. The combined Verizon-Terremark solution also uses GPS functionality to minimize the effects of payment fraud. Each verification device includes built-in GPS features that allow users to monitor to their location at all times, which enable random, remote checks and location confirmation. Now, the location where patient services are delivered can be captured via GPS to help ensure that they’re at a valid business location.The scanning device can also be monitored to verify that it actually located where it is said to be enabling random, remote checks and verification. Medicare payment processors will have to tied verification code to bill in order to approve bill payment, otherwise the system will reject the bill. Also, the location of where the patient service is delivered will also be captured via GPS in the device to ensure that this is indeed a valid business location.
Managed Hosting provides customers with 24x7 managed services in both dedicated and virtualized infrastructure resources. Plus:Monitoring, reporting, patching, backups or break/fix support of all supported infrastructure
Colocation Services provides customers with premium space, power, network and security in nearly 50 data centers across the world. Plus:You can use your own equipment or Terremark’s
Solution:A machine-to-machine (M2M) device is installed in each light fixture to monitor when lights go off and notifies the appropriate personnel of outages as they occur. These devices transmit data to a server hosted in the Terremark cloud, which keeps track of outages and the time it takes to restore service.Results:Agency personnel can analyze and track operational data on lights from any tower in the country in real time, which provides a more accurate picture and assessment of the contractor’s performance and help ensure air traffic remains safe.
