Azure Cognitive Services

Cognitive Services now offers much more for customers where data is stored at rest.

Customers around the world can now take advantage of these intelligence services in proximity to their data. The global footprint for Cognitive Services has expanded tremendously — going from 15 to 25 Azure data center regions.

Be it unreliable internet connection, or wanting to save on bandwidth cost, or super low latency requirements, or dealing with sensitive data that needs to be analyzed on-site, the Azure IoT Edge with the Cognitive Services containers gives consistency and compatibility with the cloud allowing you to run your analysis on-site and one point management to operate all your sites.

These container images are directly available to try as IoT Edge modules on the Azure Marketplace:
