Microsoft has launched the public preview of Microsoft IoT Central. The company clains Microsoft IoT Central is the first true highly scalable IoT software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that offers built-in support for IoT best practices and world-class security. Microsoft IoT Central enables companies to build production-grade IoT applications in hours—without having to manage all the necessary back-end infrastructure or learn new skills.
According to the company, Microsoft IoT Central takes the hassle out of creating an IoT solution by eliminating the complexities of initial setup as well as the management burden and operational overhead of a typical IoT project. That means users can bring their connected product vision to life faster while staying focused on their customers and products. The complete IoT solution lets users seamlessly scale from a few to millions of connected devices as IoT needs grow. Moreover, it removes guesswork thanks to simple and comprehensive pricing that makes it easier to plan IoT investments.
On the security front, Microsoft IoT Central leverages privacy standards and technologies to help ensure data is only accessible to the right people in an organization. With IoT privacy features such as role-based access and integration with Azure Active Directory permissions, users stay in control of their information. In the coming months, Microsoft IoT Central will also be able to integrate with customers’ existing business systems—such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP and Salesforce.
Microsoft is also announcing the availability of Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service. Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service enables zero-touch device provisioning and configuration of millions of devices to Azure IoT Hub in a secure and scalable manner. Device Provisioning Service adds important capabilities that, together with Azure IoT Hub device management, help customers easily manage all stages of the IoT device lifecycle.
