Collect
Your assets—such as sensors, equipment, and buildings—are constantly streaming new information. Easily ingest all your IoT data into Time Series Insights with native integrations into Azure IoT Hub and Event Hub. Scale your Time Series Insights platform as your IoT-ingestible data volume grows.
Store
As your IoT engagement grows, so does the amount of data you need to store. Multilayered storage lets you amass data across warm and cold storages while enabling instant access to streaming and historical IoT data. Easily connect your own Azure Blob storage or create new storage systems when you set up Time Series Insights.
Model
Data without context only shows a portion of the picture. Use Time Series Model to organize sensors under hierarchies and make it easy to find and explore IoT data. The computation engine helps you create complex calculations for faster analysis. The additional context and computations help you identify unique trends, uncover the causes of anomalies, and diagnose process irregularities.
Analyze
Tell your data story with the right visualizations. The Azure Time Series Insights explorer provides a turnkey experience including rich graphic visualizations and tools to conduct deep analysis into your IoT data. Open APIs let you connect time-based data to machine learning tools and other visualization systems. With a native Power BI connector, analyze IoT data next to your business data for a complete picture of your operations.
Built for IoT
Turn disparate data streams into insights and provide context using Time Series Model. From the beginning of your engagement to the full connection of your industrial assets, access near-real-time data streaming and historical data for a complete picture.
Inherently scalable
Uncover new insights as your IoT data grows. Ingest and store billions of IoT events as you scale to hundreds of thousands of assets. With our pay-as-you go pricing, you get an end-to-end industrial IoT analytics platform that matures with your business.
