Is IoT even a new thing?

Depending on who you ask, IoT is either:

1

Nothing new
Weve
been
doing this
for 40
years
A unicorn
Magic, and
will soon
change
everything.

Command and control scenarios

have much in common with some
parts of IoT

But falling hardware costs, cloud

services and relatively ubiquitous
communications do enable new
approaches and applications

Cloud Based IoT Solutions

Azure IoT
Easy to provision, use and
manage
Pay as you go, scale as you
need
Global reach, hyper scale
End to end security & privacy

Three parts of an IoT

solution
Device connectivity &
management
Analytics & operationalized
