Toshiba, Microsoft partner to deliver sensor-driven IoT systems
Leveraging Toshiba’s IoT devices with Microsoft’s Azure IoT Cloud infrastructure, Toshiba will deliver state-of-the-art sensor-data-driven enterprise applications in various market segments starting in calendar year 2015. Initially the effort will target the transportation and logistics market, including an on-board video recorder that tracks and analyzes vehicle data and driver behavior.

Microsoft will provide IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), private line services (Azure ExpressRoute) and advanced analytics (Azure Machine Learning) as part of Microsoft Azure (collectively, "Azure").
