**INTRODUCTION**

The term IoT was coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 and later on officially introduced by ITU (International Telecommunication Union) in 2005. It is a network of things, embedded with software intelligence, sensors and connectivity to the internet. The basic idea of IoT is to monitor and control things from anywhere in the world.

Servers and data storage devices form a crucial part of any organization because all applications run on these servers and it should be available at all times. The ambient condition of this room must be protected from high temperature and humidity with an AC (Air Conditioner). The room temperature and humidity should be maintained at constant values around the clock. Hence there is a need for specialized cost effective tools to provide warning information regarding server room condition which can be monitored remotely. So we are opting for IoT to provide an active solution to keep data and devices safe.

The sensors collect the precise data and the same can be transmitted over the network with the help of IoT. Organizations can prepare themselves to acknowledge the capability of IoT technology which helps in data collection in real time and can be made available on cloud for forecasting and analyzing the data. This technology guides any organization to predict plans and avoid cost of production and risks in flexible ways.

The data is communicated over the cloud, then processed and has various applications to deal with Cloud technology is used to solve storage problems as it allows us to deal with big data efficiently. Along with storage capabilities, cloud also provides computational abilities and security. Prominent advantage of using cloud technology in IoT is that it is very cost effective and data is available anytime for any part of the world. Without cloud storage, IoT devices will be restricted to an organization or a particular area with limited memory for data storage.
