Azure IoT Hub

IoT Hub is a Platform-as-a-Services (PaaS) managed service, hosted in the cloud, that acts as a central message hub for bi-directional communication between an IoT application and the devices it manages.

Managed service to enable bi-directional communication between IoT devices and Azure

Azure IoT Hubs enables IoT solutions with reliable and secure communications between millions of IoT devices and a cloud-hosted solution backend. IoT Hub supports multiple messaging patterns such as device-to-cloud telemetry, file upload from devices, and request-reply methods to control your devices from the cloud. IoT Hub monitors and tracks events such as device creation, device failures, and device connections.
