Benefits of using Mender with Azure IoT Hub

Easy and efficient

Mender server automatically syncs devices to Azure IoT Hub, automatically making devices ready-to-use in both services.

Secure device registration

Minimize device-side credentials that need to be protected. Once a device is registered in Mender, it's available in Azure IoT Hub.

Single pane of glass

Easily and efficiently access all device information in one interface, including Azure Device Twin and authentication status.

Device lifecycle management

Add-ons provide monitoring, troubleshooting and configuration management in addition to correlated analytics from Azure.

Azure IoT Hub integration

Manage Azure Device Twins directly in Mender

You can manage Azure Device Twins directly in the Mender UI, or via the Mender REST APIs. The Mender server synchronizes the Device Twin to Azure IoT Hub and from there it is delivered to the device.

When you have support cases or issues with devices, there is no longer any need to look up information from different sources – which will save valuable operational and debugging time.
