InfluxData's time series database, InfluxDB, has been embedded in PTC's ThingWorx IoT platform, providing a "time series database for persisting device data" that was previously missing. This move comes shortly after InfluxDB Cloud added support for Microsoft Azure, highlighting the growing importance of cloud-based solutions for IoT applications. The OEM agreement between InfluxData and PTC is expected to benefit both companies by enhancing their respective IoT services with a robust time series database solution.
