Since then, we\u2019ve been making a number of investments from product innovation &#8211; including Azure Sphere, Azure Digital Twins, Azure IoT Edge, Azure Maps, and Azure IoT Central &#8211; new partnerships with DJI, SAP, PTC, Qualcomm, and Carnegie Mellon University for IoT and edge app development, and programs to help drive the next wave of innovation for our customers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through this acquisition, Microsoft will gain access to billions of new connected endpoints, increase the number of devices that can connect to Azure, and allow for new intelligent capabilities. Express Logic\u2019s ThreadX RTOS is complementary with Microsoft\u2019s flagship security offering in the microcontroller space, Azure Sphere. Microsoft aims to enable ThreadX-powered devices to connect to Azure IoT Edge devices when the IoT solution requires edge computing capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">George continued, adding, \u201cas we\u2019ve stated consistently in the past, our primary goal is to simplify IoT &#8211; from the cloud all the way down to the smallest MCU based devices. We do this by meeting our customers where they are with the right developer tools, software, and intelligent cloud services to manage their solutions at scale. Express Logic\u2019s technology and team will be an incredible addition to Microsoft in our quest to give every customer the ability to transform their businesses, and the world at large, with connected solutions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To read Microsoft\u2019s full blog post, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/18\/microsoft-acquires-express-logic-accelerating-iot-development-for-billions-of-devices-at-scale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"speedbump-1\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"MDM Buyer's Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/files\/2019\/02\/mobility-bg-speedbump.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to MDM Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech industry giant, Microsoft, has announced its acquisition of Express Logic, a leader in real-time operating systems (RTOS) for Internet of Things (IoT) and edge devices powered by microcontroller units (MCUs).
