What is the role of Microsoft Azure in the IoT space?

Microsoft Azure is the cloud computing platform for all of the software and services, for IoT or Internet of Things.

Among many components to an Internet of Things, Microsoft specializes in Things, Data, Insight and Action. These are the four specific areas those encompass an Internet of Things solution.

Things is the first and most critical step. It is the requirement to connect, to monitor and to manage the devices. Data is a reference to storage and analysis. Data is needed to stream tools to analyse. This helps in evaluating information and telemetry from software systems and from devices. Insights are services required for learning machines. Action is the fourth step. Action is the ability to make the processes automatic. It also commands and controls the systems and engage with people.

Microsoft Azure Cloud computing is an important and vital part of the Internet of Things or IoT. IoT solution is not possible without Cloud Hosting service.
