LUZERN, Switzerland - Dec. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Horw, Switzerland: Toradex announced it has joined Microsoft Azure Certified for Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring customers develop and deploy IoT solutions quickly with hardware and software that has been pre-tested and verified to work with Microsoft Azure IoT services. Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT allows businesses to reach customers where they are, working with an ecosystem of devices and platforms, enabling faster time to production.

Toradex offers robust and compact embedded computing solutions encompassing System on Modules (https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules) (SOMs) and Customized Single Board Computers (https://www.toradex.com/customized-single-board-computer) (SBC), which are used in variety of industries such as Industrial Automation, Medical, Automotive, Robotics and many more (https://www.toradex.com/industry-segments). Toradex modules are ideal for quickly creating proof-of-concepts as well as scaling seamlessly from prototypes to tens of thousands of devices without the need to redesign the embedded computer.

“Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT validates our ability to jumpstart customers’ IoT projects with pre-tested hardware and operating system combinations,” said Stephan Dubach, CEO, Toradex. “Decreasing the usual customization and work required for compatibility ensures Toradex helps customers get started quickly on their IoT solution.”

IoT projects are complex and take a long time to implement. Customers find that choosing and connecting the right set of devices, assets or sensors to the cloud can be time-consuming. To jumpstart their IoT projects with confidence, customers are looking for certified devices and platforms that are tested for readiness, compatibility and usability with the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite. By choosing a partner from the Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT program, customers can save time and effort on project specs and RFP processes by knowing in advance what devices and offerings will work with the Azure IoT Suite.
