An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Northern.tech provides device lifecycle management (or DLM) software and services for securely managing and updating firmware and software running on a wide variety of IoT and smart device platforms.
There are infinite combinations of base smart device footprints, operating systems, applications and networks at play in the world, from tiny environmental sensors and medical monitors, to HVAC systems in office buildings and in-dash automotive computer interfaces. Device producers, end user orgs and service providers struggle to keep high cardinality fleets of devices in compliance, often because of a lack of skilled resources, coordination, and knowledge transfer.
Northern.tech produces the popular Mender open-core solution for OTA (over-the-air) updates, and managed cloud-based services for remote health monitoring, scheduling and automation of large-scale patch and upgrade deployments to the IoT fleet. Importantly, in remote or low-connection environments, updates can be carried out on a discontinuous basis.
