Azure IoT Suite – The Internet Of All Things

Microsoft has announced several updates to Azure IoT Central to "inspire builders to develop industry-leading solutions with the peace of mind that their applications rest on a secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure". It said on its official blog that Microsoft would be investing US $5 billion in Azure IoT over the next four years. It also announced the release of 11 industry app templates, designed to build IoT apps across retail, healthcare, government, and energy. New capabilities for production-level solutions Expanding IoT Central portfolio with IoT Edge: Businesses can now run Cloud intelligence directly on their Internet of Things (IoT) devices at the Edge managed by Azure IoT Central. This new feature helps businesses connect and manage Azure IoT Edge devices, deploy Edge software modules, publish insights, and take actions at-scale – all from within Azure IoT Central. Seamless device connectivity with IoT Plug and Play: Solution builders building with Azure IoT Central can select from a range of Azure IoT Pre-Certified Plug and Play devices and quickly connect them to the Cloud. Customers can now build production grade IoT solutions within days without having to write a single line of device code, cutting down the time to market and costs. Extensibility through data export: Continuous Data Export from Azure IoT Central can be used to integrate data streams directly into Azure PaaS services like Azure Blob Storage for data retention, or Azure Event Hub and Azure Service Bus for building rich processing pipelines for IoT data and insights into business applications, or into storage for Azure Machine Learning. Public APIs to access features: Solution builders with extensibility needs beyond device data now have access to Central features through Azure public APIs. Users can develop IoT solutions that leverage IoT Central programmatically as the core for device modelling, provisioning, lifecycle management, operations (updating and commanding), and data querying. Manageability and scale through multitenancy: In the coming months, Azure IoT Central will support multitenancy; solution builders can build once and use a multitenancy interface to on-board, configure, and update many customers and organisations globally across regions, offering both device and data sovereignty without sacrificing manageability. Device and data scale: Azure IoT Central scales users' data processing pipelines and provides storage to support millions of devices. Solution builders can achieve device scale by seamlessly connecting devices with IoT Plug and Play integration and authoring IoT Central experiences for Plug and Play devices. Via: Microsoft
