IOT en Cloud Apps

IOT applications fit perfectly with Cloud Services. Scalability, reliability, security and cost efficiency of Cloud Services are generally decisive. And Microsoft Azure is an often chosen Cloud Service, not always the cheapest, but with a great reputation, and the most used Cloud service in European SMEs. In order to take advantage of the benefits of the Cloud, it is important to set up things based on a Cloud architecture approach that clearly deviates from migrating traditional concepts. It is also wise not to blindly follow what Microsoft Azure evangelists present as obvious. For example, Microsoft BI is great for certain applications, but a custom web-based Dashboard is often a better option. The key point is to try to keep it simple and only use what you really need. Simple is often cheaper and, importantly, the best basis for remaining decisive.
