Azure IoT Suite is an integrated offering that takes advantage of all relevant Azure capabilities to connect devices and other assets, capture the diverse and voluminous data they generate, integrate and orchestrate the flow of that data, and manage, analyse, and present it as usable information that either helps people to make better decisions or boosts intelligent automation of operations. The offering, while customisable to fit the unique needs of organisations, will also provide finished applications to speed deployment of common scenarios we see across many industries, such as remote monitoring, asset management and predictive maintenance, while providing the ability to grow and scale solutions to cover millions of ‘things’.
The IoT succeeds only when things are able to communicate with one another. Within proprietary Windows 10 IoT networks, establishing that communication is fairly easy with AllJoyn. AllJoyn is an open source software framework and set of services that aims to enable interoperability among connected devices, regardless of the underlying proprietary technology or communications protocols. By implementing AllJoyn in Windows 10, Microsoft is joining with more than 80 alliance members to support interoperability across a variety of platforms and at scale, advancing the development and vision of IoT.
