Azure IoT Remote Monitoring solution goes out of Preview
Azure IoT solutions accelerators bring the next wave of innovation
In October, we announced a major update to Azure IoT Remote Monitoring, our focus on operator scenarios built on a flexible open source architecture represented an evolution in our solutions. Remote Monitoring is aimed at accelerating our customers to production deployments, with lower cost, a redesigned UI, enhanced operator scenarios, and flexibility for customizations.
In six months we have seen incredible momentum. Customers are moving faster through their initial phases of development, and in a matter of weeks onto real-life scenarios. More customers and partners than ever before are leveraging Remote Monitoring to deploy production solutions.
Today, we are excited to announce the next stage in our evolution of customizable solutions from Azure IoT Suite Preconfigured Solutions to Azure IoT Solution Accelerators. Future investments will be in both horizontal and industry specific scenarios that customers and partners can customize and take to production faster.
What’s new in Remote Monitoring
We are excited to announce the latest update of Azure IoT Remote Monitoring, a solution accelerator that is fully operational right out of the box. New features include:
- Enhanced UI: Operator experiences are even smoother with production-ready controls, and improvements in code clarity allow any React developer to customize with ease.
- Enhanced operator scenarios:
- Advanced rules and streaming powered by Azure Stream Analytics engine.
- Live maintenance mode to track your devices telemetry while doing maintenance.
- Richer out of the box demo experience
- Easier device connectivity: see your device details light up in the platform automatically, no need to customize the UI.
- Better maps: our device tracking is now powered by Azure Maps, the latest technology to provide geospatial context to data.
- Richer integration options: we have invested in third party integration. We have new tutorials that showcase integration with services such as Power BI, Azure Time Series Insights, Azure Data Lake, and Azure Logic Apps.
- New SIM Integration, powered by Telefonica IoT. Customers using Telefonica SIM data will be able to seamlessly manage their devices using the Remote Monitoring solution.
Why this release is important to customers and partners
With Remote Monitoring being out of preview, your customers and partners will get the peace of mind that our architecture will evolve in a way that they will be able to consume with minimal breaking changes. While the project is open source, we are committing to provide an experience where both customers and partners can both contribute back and update their projects with our upcoming releases.
