The Internet of Things (IoT)<\/a> is redefining how we think of cloud based computing. In fact I think it\u2019s safe to say that the IoT represents not only the next major wave of computing, but also the next competitive advantage. And it\u2019s evolving at an alarming rate. So fast that it\u2019s almost hard to keep up.<\/p>\n

\nOver the past several years, Microsoft<\/a> has been engineering the industry\u2019s most comprehensive IoT platform: The Azure IoT Hub<\/a> is helping customers build industry solutions\u00a0that connect their vast array of devices, services, analytics and back-end technologies.<\/p>\n

Billions and billions<\/h2>\n

According to azure.microsoft.com<\/a>, \u201cAzure IoT Hub provides an easy and secure way to connect, provision and manage billions of IoT devices sending and receiving trillions of messages per month<\/em>.\u201d Think of it this way, IoT Hub is the bridge between customers\u2019 devices and their solutions in the cloud, allowing them to store, analyze and act on that data in real time.<\/p>\n

Businesscloudnews.com<\/a> points out that \u201cAzure IoT Hub is a fully managed service that enables reliable and secure bidirectional communications between millions of IoT devices and a solution back end<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only that but the Azure IoT Hub (as per Microsoft.com<\/a>) \u201cprovides reliable device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device messaging at scale. Enables secure communications using per-device security credentials and access control. Provides extensive monitoring for device connectivity and device identity management events and includes device libraries for the most popular languages and platforms<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stability and reliability<\/h2>\n

Azure IoT Hub\u00a0<\/a>is a Microsoft Azure cloud service that offers reliable and secure device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device messaging that scales to millions of devices. Yet getting started is simple, with a streamlined programming model and platforms and protocols you already know. With Azure IoT Hub<\/a>, makers can get started with minimum effort and scale up your solution as its needs grow, without having to rewrite it or rework what you\u2019ve already built.

Use it or lose it<\/h2>\n

Microsoft, with the help of its growing cloud computing platform, comments eweek.com<\/a>, \u201cis not only positioning itself as a link between IoT devices and an organization’s back-end systems, but also as a provider of advanced management and analytics services.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to iotslam.com<\/a>, business enterprises who embrace IoT enjoys the benefit of business objectives in particular:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Establish Connected Enterprise to create real-time interactions with customers, field forces and physical assets and<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Build transparent anytime anywhere customer services mobilizing enterprise and making it securely accessible to employees and customers alike.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Providing real-time insights for faster decision making and connected to everything you could possibly imagine. Welcome to IoT.<\/p>\n
