Just watched the webinar. It's completely tech focused, it shows you how to set up an IoT project with Keyscaler in Azure. This doesn't indicate anything about uptake. The bears will tell you this.
However, in the q&a section, there was some indication. Having referred to Keyscaler as "best in class" at the outset of the webinar, Jeff Cornwell, Director of Cloud Marketplace for Microsoft is asked the first question from one of the attendees, regarding how IoT solutions in Azure are growing. It's worth listening for yourself by signing up for free, but I noticed him say that there is tremendous momentum in the IoT category with publishers bringing solutions to the marketplace at an increasing rate that has lead to a current figure of around 8000 listings. Customers are also buying solutions a lot more frequently, according to the Microsoft director; millions of visitors arrive at the Azure storefront every month. So far this is general IoT market growth. But the following is also added to Jeff's answer. IoT security is gaining momentum, and Microsoft are making investments in a couple of key areas including IoT security, connectivity and analytics, where they are seeing a lot of demand.
I suspect they will want the "best in class", but I may be wrong. But I doubt it.
