Azure IoT Suite
Start with preconfigured solutions
• Get Started in minutes
• Modify existing rules and alerts
• Add your devices and begin tailor to your needs
Finish with your IoT Application
• Fine-tuned to specific assets and processes
• Highly visual for your real-time operational data
• Integrate with back-end systems

Connectivity
21
Assuming stable cloud connectivity will not benefit the stability of your solution

Retrofitting challenge
22
Neglecting your current installed-base means your project will have
a time-to-value of years

Messaging capabilities
Forgetting aggregation or filtering can result in unnecessary costs

Security
When your first security audit isn’t organized by you, you’re in for some trouble

Patch & update
Not implementing a remote update strategy will cost more money in the end.

Announcing: Nebulus™ IoT Gateway
– Software field gateway
– 100% remotely controlled
– Cross platform (Windows, Linux, Docker)
– Extensible & flexible

Insights Actions

The edge matters for industrial IoT
IoT in the Cloud
➔ Remote monitoring and control
➔ Merging remote data from across
multiple IoT devices
➔ Near infinite compute and storage to
train machine learning and other
advanced AI tools
IoT on the Edge
➔ Low latency tight control loops require
near real-time response
➔ Public internet inherently
unpredictable
➔ Privacy of data and protection of IP
Symmetry

Hardware for Azure IoT Edge
Ability to run on devices smaller than a Raspberry Pi
128MB memory
Support best in class operating systems such as Windows, and Linux
