The future of computing: intelligent cloud and intelligent edge

Get consistency across cloud and edge

Imagine, architect, and build new, distributed applications on a consistent and comprehensive platform that spans from the cloud to the edge.

• Application development platform

  • Get consistency with your programming models, app services, data services, and DevOps to simplify your solution development and deployment. Users can develop an event-based system with Azure Functions that runs on Azure, Azure Stack, and Azure IoT Edge.

• Security

  • Reduce the complexity of managing security across a distributed infrastructure. Azure Security Center provides a built-in, unified approach across environments and intelligent threat protection for workloads running on cloud-to-edge solutions.

• Identity

  • Get identity management for cloud-to-edge solutions with Azure Active Directory. Guard against unauthorized access to apps, devices, and data —including conditional access, access control lists, identity protection, and access reviews.

• Management

  • Get built-in and intelligent management tools for monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, and update management to simplify the management of cloud resources in Azure as well as your edge environment.

• Artificial Intelligence

  • Build machine learning models in Azure that you can run at the edge to deliver real-time insights. Retrain and improve your current machine learning models by transferring your data sets to Azure.
