Sam George, director of Microsoft’s Azure IoT program, sat down with us to discuss how Azure IoT came about, his views on what IoT means today, why the hype is real — and what it will all mean in the future. George describes Microsoft’s decision to launch Azure IoT as an opportunity to examine what’s next in computing. “We knew IoT was going to be the next wave of computing after mobile,” he says “(We are) seeing some amazing traction; it’s a great growth area.” Azure IoT has a number of offerings, such as the Windows 10 IoT Core.
