Microsoft's vision is to help companies thrive in this era of IoT, delivering open, scalable platforms and services that any company, whether startup or the most established global enterprises, can use to create new value, right now. Microsoft mentioned their investments in the Windows 10 IoT operating system for devices, and equally with the Azure IoT Suite, they are bringing together a variety of Azure services to help their customers accelerate their transformation to digital businesses.
If the Azure Intelligent Systems Service preview was a starting point, the Azure IoT Suite is its evolution and maturation – a reflection of what was learned from the feedback provided by customers and partners throughout the preview.
The Azure IoT Suite is an integrated offering that takes advantage of all the relevant Azure capabilities to connect devices and other assets (i.e. "things"), capture the diverse and voluminous data they generate, integrate and orchestrate the flow of that data, and manage, analyze and present it as usable information to the people who need it to make better decisions as well as intelligently automate operations. The offering, while customizable to fit the unique needs of organizations will also provide finished applications to speed deployment of common scenarios as seen across many industries, such as remote monitoring, asset management, and predictive maintenance, while providing the ability to grow and scale solutions to millions of "things."
Additionally, the Azure IoT Suite will provide a simple and predictable pricing model despite the rich set of capabilities and broad scenarios it delivers, so Microsoft's customers can plan and budget appropriately. This approach is aimed at simplifying the complexities that often exist with implementing and costing IoT solutions.
The Azure IoT Suite will be released in preview later this year. Azure Stream Analytics, currently in preview and generally available next month, enables customers to process massive amounts of real-time, incoming data from "things" and services to help predict trends and automate services or responses.
