Azure IoT Edge

Azure IoT Edge is a fully managed service that delivers cloud intelligence locally and makes hybrid cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions a reality.

Pros

    AWS Snowball

    AWS Snowball is a petabyte-scale data transfer service built around a secure suitcase-sized device that moves data into and out of the AWS Cloud quickly and efficiently. Jobs begin in the AWS Management Console, when a device (or devices) are shipped to your designated site to be filled up with data. Once the job is finished, the device is shipped back to AWS and the data put into your S3 bucket. Typical transfer times are about a week from start to finish.
