Benefits of Automation Through Microsoft Azure IoT Suite

The internet of things has grown in popularity as the number of connected devices has increased considerably over the past few years. According to Gartner, the global IoT market is expected to grow to 5.8 billion endpoints by the end of 2020. Having said that, the compound annual growth rate will be 21% as compared to the previous year. The advent of smart home automation technologies has unlocked new business opportunities for IoT application development Services. 

When it comes to IoT app development, a majority of businesses prefer cloud computing services to develop a centrally-managed IoT application. To address the increasing requirements of IoT app development, cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud (GCP) have come forth with their unique serverless offerings. That being said, Microsoft Azure is rightfully considered a leading service provider for cloud-based application development. The Azure IoT Suite enables developers to build, deploy, and launch scalable IoT solutions for varied business requirements.

At Oodles Technologies, we have gained vast experience in cloud-based IoT app development services. Our development team is skilled at using cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP to develop scalable IoT apps with custom features. In this blog post, we enumerate the main benefits of Azure IoT Suite for building enterprise-grade applications with central tracking and analytics capabilities.

An Introduction To Azure IoT Suite

Microsoft Azure is one of the fastest-growing cloud platforms for building IoT-based applications. According to Business Insider, it is the second largest cloud platform for IoT application development after AWS. Azure IoT Suite provides a comprehensive SaaS solution with a set of open-source SDKs to develop, scale, deploy, manage, and run user-centric IoT applications over a serverless cloud architecture.

Azure IoT Service At a Glance

Azure IoT Suite includes several independent cloud-based IoT services to address different types of project requirements. Let’s discuss these services and their significance in cloud-based IoT application development.

Azure IoT Central

Azure IoT Central is a cloud service that lets you connect the new and existing IoT devices to the Azure cloud. Furthermore, it enables developers to build a simple yet effective IoT app with real-time analytics capabilities. IoT central is extremely useful for decision makers who need a simple interface to track the connected devices and gain insights into data.

It provides several built-in templates based on the industry use cases to accelerate the development process and reduce time-to-market. Most importantly, it lets you integrate your IoT app seamlessly with the existing business infrastructure and third-party services. 

Azure IoT Hub

Azure IoT Hub lets you establish a reliable connection between Azure cloud and the IoT devices to facilitate a seamless communication. It is capable of handling billions of connected devices without affecting the cloud infrastructure. 

Developers can use Azure IoT Hub to securely channelize data between devices and establish a smooth two-way communication. It maintains a smooth flow of user commands from backend to the connected devices. At the same time, it ensures security and privacy of various communications through device registration, authentication, and message delivery authentication.

Azure IoT Edge

Azure IoT Edge enables enterprises to extend the capabilities of an IoT system with edge intelligence. The service lets you move some of your IoT data (including analytics and messages) to the edge computing devices. In this way, you can offload operations in the cloud, thereby reducing the bandwidth and overhead costs. It further accelerates the decision-making process and lets you operate offline as well. Above all, it facilitates provisioning and management of edge devices for better user convenience.

Google BigQuery And Its Benefits

Google BigQuery is an enterprise data warehouse built using BigTable and Google Cloud Platform. It’s serverless, completely managed and a part of Google cloud development services. It works great with most sizes of data, from a 100 row Excel spreadsheet to several Petabytes of data. Most importantly, this can execute a complex query on those data within a few seconds.

An Introduction To BigQuery

1. Querying massive datasets 
2. Secure Access Control 
3. Single view of your data points
4. Super-fast SQL-like queries 
5. Google Analytics data in BigQuery 

Benefits of BigQuery

1. Scales in Petabytes 
2. Input/Output of TBs in seconds 
3. 100,000 rows/sec per table Streaming API 
4. Simple data ingest from GCS or Hadoop 
5. Connect to R, Pandas, Hadoop, Dataflow, etc. 
6. Row-level security and data expiration 

The Architecture of BigQuery

1. It is based on Dremel, a technology pioneered by Google & extensively used within the organisation. 
2. Dremel is a querying service which allows you to execute SQL queries against huge datasets (think hundreds of millions of rows)
3. It uses multi-level execution trees to achieve interactive performance for queries against petabyte datasets.
4. It’s performance advantage comes from its parallel processing architecture. 
5. The query is executed by thousands of servers in a multi-level execution tree structure, with the final results aggregated at the root server.
6. Data structured in BigQuery are in below format:
   1. Datasets 
   2. Tables 
   3. Rows 
   4. Columns 
7.  It is a publicly available implementation of Dremel which is available as an IaaS.

Ways To Interact With BigQuery

1. Loading and exporting data
2. Querying and viewing data
3. Managing data

To perform these interactions, you can use:

1. The BigQuery web UI in the Cloud Console
2. The BigQuery classic web UI
3. The BigQuery command-line tool
4. The BigQuery REST API or client libraries

Loading and exporting data in BIgQuery

In some cases, you load data into BigQuery storage. When you want to get the data back out of BigQuery, you can export the data.

Otherwise, you can set up a table as an external data source, which allows you to query data stored outside of BigQuery.

Querying And Viewing Data

After you load your data into BigQuery, you can use a query or view the data in your tables directly. For example, you can perform the following tasks:

1. Run interactive queries
2. Run batch queries
3. Create a view, which is a virtual table defined by a SQL query
4. Use partitioned tables to query a subset of your data

Managing data

You can handle data in BigQuery in the following ways besides querying and displaying the data:

1. Listing projects, jobs, datasets, and tables
2. Getting information about jobs, datasets, and tables
3. Defining, updating, or patching datasets and tables
4. Deleting datasets and tables
5. Managing table partitions

Sample and Use cases of Big-Query

1. To get unsampled custom funnels with added benefits 
   1. No Backfilling 
   2. Historical Information 
   3. Apply filters 
   4. Unlimited steps 
2. To get the last interaction (event) that the user performed before landing on a given page 
3. To get all the sessions with transactions wherein particular events were performed by users and funnels generated after when a particular event has been performed.
