Back in the days of Windows 95, Microsoft had a similar problem: connecting the operating system with printers<\/a> and other hardware peripherals. Ultimately, the company came up with the Plug and Play model, which made printer capabilities clear and certified the devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re going through a similar phase with IoT devices right now, and once again, Microsoft’s response is to create a plug-and-play solution for IoT<\/strong>, called\u2014unsurprisingly\u2014IoT<\/strong> Plug and Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


At the center of Microsoft’s IoT <\/strong>initiatives are Azure IoT<\/strong> Central and Azure IoT <\/strong>Hub.\u00a0Azure IoT <\/strong>Hub<\/a>, which debuted in 2015, 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.”\u00a0Microsoft IoT<\/strong> Central<\/a>, which debuted in spring 2017, is a dashboard that pulls together data from all of your IoT devices “without requiring cloud solution expertise.” Read more: <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
