Sierra Wireless edge-to-cloud solutions
integrated with Microsoft Azure IoT Central will simplify and
accelerate time-to-value for enterprise IoT projects
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), the leading provider of
fully integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of
Things (IoT), today announced a strategic collaboration with
Microsoft to provide one of the industry’s first full-stack IoT
solutions. Sierra Wireless’ new Octave™ edge data orchestration
solution has been successfully connected with Microsoft Azure IoT
Central. Once in production, the solution will simplify and
accelerate the process of getting edge data to the cloud, enabling
enterprises to achieve the value of IoT for the industry 4.0 world.
In addition, Sierra Wireless intends to migrate its existing cloud
infrastructure from AWS to utilize Azure’s full complement of cloud
services.
Azure IoT Central is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution
that lets customers build and deploy production-grade IoT
applications in hours without cloud computing experience or
specialized skills. Octave merges edge devices, network, and cloud
APIs into a single platform that securely extracts, orchestrates
and acts on data from remote assets at the edge to the cloud. The
integration will enable customers to focus on building their
business rather than reinventing technical infrastructure, which
dramatically reduces costs and development time from several months
to days.
René Link, CMO and SVP, Corporate Strategy and Go-To-Market
Operations, Sierra Wireless, said: “The combination of Sierra
Wireless’ full suite of IoT solutions and Azure IoT Central
addresses a critical gap in the marketplace. We’ve consistently
heard from customers about how complex it is to integrate IoT
technology, which takes time and focus away from their core
business. This collaboration creates a category-of-one IoT solution
that will accelerate edge data into the cloud, allowing enterprises
across the globe to monetize IoT.”
Tony Shakib, Principal Group PM Manager, Azure IoT, Microsoft,
said: “As a leader in integrated IoT solutions, Sierra Wireless’
edge-to-cloud capabilities are an ideal complement to Microsoft
Azure IoT Central. Together with Microsoft’s Azure IoT Central
offering, this strategic collaboration will enable cloud developers
to deploy secure, intelligent and reliable IoT device connectivity
and collect data as an extension of their Azure IoT Central
experience.”
Roger Entner, Founder and Lead Analyst, Recon Analytics, said:
“The Sierra Wireless integration with Microsoft will unlock the
IoT’s true potential for the tens of thousands of businesses that
are struggling with the complexity of IoT, stitching together
components into bespoke solutions that take months, often years to
deploy. Joint solutions from Sierra Wireless and Microsoft will
enable a company’s existing cloud developers to tap into the IoT
and easily connect their edge devices to their Microsoft Azure
infrastructure.”
