Solution development
This is going to be an IoT solution, which receives data from connected devices, stores the data and makes it available for consumption by the holographic application. So, in this section, you will first learn to set up the backend infrastructure--where you will have a simulated device--which connects with a Cloud Gateway. Data received by the Cloud Gateway is stored within persistent storage, and finally, this data will be made available to the holographic application through Web APIs.
Logical design diagram
The following is the logical design diagram for the overall solution, which is built on the same architecture design explained in the preceding chapter:
Logical architecture for remote monitoring of devices
Note
In this solution architecture, we use Event Hubs as a Cloud Gateway for event data ingress coming from the sensor. This is useful when there is only device-to-cloud data ingression flow. You can also use Azure IoT Hub; however, it is more appropriate when you...
