Microsoft and Toshiba are joining forces to develop products and services that address the Internet of Things. “This mirrors the combination of IBM’s cloud service with ARM-based IoT development platforms,” reports Electronics Weekly. “The plan is to bring together Microsoft’s Azure IoT Cloud infrastructure with IoT applications running Toshiba’s sensors and wireless comms devices,” including Toshiba’s ApP Lite processor, driving recorders and cloud storage services. “IoT is bringing in a dramatic technology transition that is reshaping the nature of networks, the meaning of service, and the way we live and work,” said Shigeyoshi Shimotsuji, VP at Toshiba.
