What to look for Target this solution to home developers or insurers promoting the benefits of connected living for energy efficiency, utility savings, or household safety A device in the home registers to a gateway so it can send and receive the data to and from the cloud. The cloud routes device messages to various storage mediums for the purpose of archival and staging for downstream processing. The solution enables users to view and analyze the data collected from their home devices. This layer also allows integration of the IoT solution back end with existing line-of-business applications to tie into enterprise business processes or workflows. End users will be notified of alerts, alarm conditions, or necessary actions that need to be taken through push notifications.

Reference Architecture Cloud Gateway Manages communication between devices. This enables consumer devices to receive notifications about events or state changes. Also enables user-initiated or machine-initiated control actions to be performed on producer devices, e.g., turning on/off the device. IoT Hub A fully managed service that enables reliable and secure bidirectional communications between millions of IoT devices and a solution backend. Provides reliable device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device messaging at scale Stream Analytics A fully managed, cost effective real-time event processing engine that helps to unlock data stream insights from devices, sensors, web sites, social media, applications, infrastructure systems, and more. Azure Blob Storage Unstructured data storage, scaling up (or down) as your needs change and you pay only for what you use, saving budget over on-premises storage options. Azure SQL A relational database-as-a-service that delivers predictable performance, scalability, business continuity, data protection, and near-zero administration to cloud developers Machine Learning A cloud predictive analytics service that makes it possible to quickly create and deploy predictive models as analytics solutions. HDInsight Fully-managed cloud Hadoop offering that provides optimized open source analytic clusters for Spark, Hive, MapReduce, HBase, Storm, Kafka, and R Server backed by a 99.9% SLA PowerBI A suite of business analytics tools to analyze data and share insights Target this solution to government leaders advocating for the transformation of urban or rural areas into more livable, workable and sustainable communities Operational analytics dashboard updated in near real time as data streams are continuously uploaded into the Azure cloud Localized street light remote “tuning” for weather conditions or optimizing cost Act on real-time information about public safety, environmental protection, traffic flow or parking Utilize light poles as public Wi-Fi access points
