The Azure IoT suite was introduced in the Convergence user conference held in Atlanta by Microsoft and the information that was shared about it was that, it can handle large data from billions of end devices. There would be individual services which would be part of the Azure cloud network that can be used to store data, analyze it as well as repackage it for other uses.
