Pulse IoT Center Features
Simple Onboarding
Reduce time and technical skills needed to onboard, provision and configure diverse IoT devices and applications faster and at scale with low touch enrollment, onboarding, and device templates.
Consistent Management
Eliminate IoT management silos with one console and lens across heterogenous IoT and edge devices, applications and firmware at scale.
Closed Loop Data Orchestration
Put your IoT data to work by facilitating data movement and flexible data flows to integrate with your business processes.
Scalable from POC to Production
Get pilots up and running rapidly with software-as -a-service (SaaS) and migrate to on-premise implementations based on your changing business needs.
Enterprise Integrations
Take advantage of seamless integration with existing server-side monitoring and alerting capability through REST APIs, along with flexible client-side integration through C-based SDK.
End-to-End Trust model
Extend IT security standards to the edge and IoT infrastructure with a consistent security framework including least privilege execution in agent, unique device IDs, TLS secured communications, RBAC and custom roles.
Device Security Management
Rapidly configure and securely deliver updates/patches to firmware and software with fine grained control over approvals, scheduling, activation and installation
Threat Detection and Escalation
Detect anomalies by monitoring configurable device metric thresholds and escalate and trigger remediation actions with rule-based alerts and API based integrations with 3rd party systems.
Authentication and Authorization
Each gateway uses authorized Access Control Lists for ongoing communicating with the server to reduce spoofing. Device sessions use an HMAC-based authentication token for continued communication with the server.
Network Security
Pulse IoT Center provides threat monitoring and detection in partnership with third-party solutions. Future versions will incorporate micro-segmentation support with VMware NSX integration.
How can Pulse IoT Center help in managing your IoT infrastructure?
Asset Tracking and Management
As more smart things and gateways connect to your networks, you need to be able to track their location, ensure safety and easily manage, provision and configure them. With Pulse IoT Center, you can monitor configurable device metric thresholds and trigger automated remediation actions with rule-based alerts and API based integrations with 3rd party systems.
Monitoring IoT Infrastructure Health
Most IoT devices—such as sensors in oil wells, on facility ceilings, inside machines, on cranes or in jet engines—are located in remote, unmanned areas. Pulse IoT Center provides real-time monitoring and alerts so you can continuously track the health of your IoT infrastructure.
Operational Analytics
Gain visibility into IoT infrastructure performance by extracting operational data (like CPU utilization and battery life) and correlating it with historic data, as well as information from other devices, to help you identify anomalies.
Over-the-Air Software and Security Update
The software lifecycle on all IoT devices needs to be continuously maintained, especially from a security perspective. With Pulse IoT Center, you establish granular visibility and control for all connected devices at scale through one console to visualize and know device status, respond to security threats, manage and deploy security patches, and update firmware, all over-the-air.
Data Collection and Orchestration
Edge and IoT devices are generating continuous streams of data that users must be able to manage and make actionable. Pulse IoT Center helps optimize the value of your data by collecting and orchestrating data flows across any device, any application and any cloud.
