Azure IoT Operations, enabled by Azure Arc
Capture asset data, process it at the edge, and send it to the cloud with Azure Arc–enabled services.
OVERVIEW
Transform physical operations
- Use an adaptive cloud approach to integrate isolated teams, dispersed locations, and extensive systems into one cohesive model for operations, security, applications, and data. Utilize cloud-native and AI technologies to operate concurrently across hybrid, multicloud, edge, and IoT environments. A unified data foundation based on Azure Arc facilitates the generation of data and insights to enhance workflow efficiency, provide predictive insights, and optimize resources.
- Generate edge insights with a comprehensive platform of cloud to edge components that work together reliably.
- Generate operational insights and recommendations for improved business outcomes using cloud services and advanced tools to process data.
- Extend the power of Azure to the edge using Azure IoT Operations with Arc-enabled services and containerization. Get a unified technology framework and data plane with Arc and Kubernetes for consistent solution deployment, automated app updates, and cost-efficient high availability and redundancy at the edge.
- Take advantage of AI globally with a scalable technology foundation from cloud to edge. Simplify data harnessing from equipment for comprehensive AI-enhanced decision-making across the enterprise with Azure IoT Operations.
