Why choose EMQX for IoT on Azure?

Go beyond native services. Combine the global reach of Azure with the power of EMQX to build a robust, cost-effective, and future-proof IoT infrastructure.

Azure IoT Hub alternative
Overcome the limitations of Azure IoT Hub. Gain full control, advanced features, and avoid vendor lock-in for your MQTT service.
Massive scale & performance
Deploy an EMQX cluster on Azure VMs or AKS to handle millions of concurrent MQTT connections and messages per second.
Seamless Azure integration
Use native connectors to stream IoT data directly into Azure services like Event Hubs, Blob Storage, and Azure SQL.
Save cost up to 50%
Pre-process and filter your IoT data with EMQX before sending it to Azure, significantly reducing ingestion and analytics costs.

EMQX and Azure IoT integration architecture

Explore a reference architecture for building a scalable MQTT solution on Azure, with EMQX as the central data hub for your IoT devices and Azure services.

Your enterprise MQTT platform on Azure

Leverage a rich feature set designed for a secure, scalable, and fully integrated IoT solution on the Azure cloud.

Full MQTT 5.0 support
Leverage the latest features of MQTT, including user properties and shared subscriptions, for more efficient and resilient IoT applications.
Real-time data processing
Use a built-in SQL-based rule engine to filter, enrich, and transform IoT data in-flight before it reaches your Azure services.
High availability & resilience
Deploy a multi-node EMQX cluster across multiple Azure Availability Zones (AZs) to ensure zero downtime for your mission-critical IoT.
Enterprise-grade security
Secure your data pipeline with TLS/SSL encryption and fine-grained access control integrated with Azure Active Directory.
Lower total cost of ownership
Optimize data flow to reduce ingestion and processing costs on Azure. Pre-process and batch data with EMQX to minimize expenses.
Flexible deployment options
Choose from fully managed EMQX Cloud, a BYOC deployment in your VNet, or self-host on VMs/AKS for maximum control.

From MQTT to Azure in 3 simple steps

Visually configure your IoT data pipeline to stream MQTT data into Azure Event Hubs with EMQX's powerful, no-code rule engine.

Ingest IoT data
Connect and ingest data from your IoT devices and sensors using the MQTT protocol.
Process & transform
Use the visual flow designer to filter, extract, and transform data streams with no code.
Stream to Azure
Seamlessly stream the prepared data into Azure Event Hubs or any other Azure service.

The enterprise alternative to Azure IoT Hub

Gain more control, scale without limits, and reduce costs by migrating your IoT service to a self-hosted or BYOC EMQX platform on Azure.

Remove scaling barriers

Overcome the connection, message rate, and rule limitations of Azure IoT Hub.

Reduce costs at scale

Pay less for messaging, especially with high-volume or bi-directional traffic, by avoiding per-message pricing.

Gain full control

Get full control over your MQTT broker, security policies, and data integration without vendor lock-in.
