Connectivity
Any type of IoT device can connect to Devman and benefit from outstanding monitoring and maintenance support with very little development using standard MQTT or HTTP API protocols. In fact devman has been used to monitor other server clusters as well as IoT devices using it’s smple, but secure connectivity. Where inχware device technology is embedded into your device bidirectional data will appear without a single line of code required, but otherwise simple XML and JSON data formats are easily coded into your firmware or edge client stacks.
Devman is highly scalable, but lightweight enough be deployed quickly and easily to on-premises infrastructure or cloud hosted. It includes support for IoT staples such as activity monitoring, alerts, OTA firmware updates and user access manangement, but is highly extendable with plugins to support application specific data processing, storage and custom UIs and dashboards.
A single Devman instance can host hundreds of thousands of devices (depending on application-specific compute requirements) for a few dollars/month of server costs/device. Devman also supports end-user device claiming and provisioning using the secure features of mobile devices to establish initial security credentials to map devices to end-user accounts. inx can provide several levels of SLA from miniumum software and secuirty maintenance to front-line customer application support.
Configurability
Detailed access control for different user account types is easily configured across the range of stakeholders often involved in providing IoT services. Devman supports strict high level organisational segregation for multi-tenant operation, but within each organisation fine-grained user-defined access matrices can be created so you can decide exactly what is available and what is presented to individual users or user-group types. These powerfull conguration features apply consistently across devices, content, users and APIs to external systems.
Integrations with Devman are simplified using JWT token management for machine2machine API and apps. Device security supprots various types of CA and certificate updates and Signing requests. User portal account access also supprots multiple types of authentication from self-contained security and privacy compliant account creation to SSO using third-party services as described in the Compatabilities section below.
