March 2017 Meeting - Microsoft IoT Hub

Abstract:

IoT Hub is an Azure component to provide communications with fielded devices. It is billed as a simple method to provide light weight communications to the cloud from remote machines. Azure IoT Hub is design to simplify the development process for new and legacy devices.

I will explore some collecting of metrics into the cloud. The platform support multiple protocols. The clients can be .NET and other platforms. Also I will demonstrate the process chain from reception into data warehousing.
