Internet of Things (IoT) involves coping with enormous number of distributed devices. This paper introduces three pieces of caching technology as steps towards single-level storage systems that can host and map numerous IoT devices on a single vast address space: 1) a caching mechanism for making solid-state storage appear as huge main memory, 2) speeding up access to resource-limited IoT devices by caching the address translation table of solid-state storage chips, and 3) ad hoc device-to-device data relay, which can be used as effective network caching for mapping IoT devices.
