Why IoT Middleware?

It's not about creating another IoT platform — it's about enhancing the existing platforms we already have. By layering better tools, management apps, data management, visual analytics and proven design patterns, we empower you to create your device management solution faster, more securely and with more powerful capabilities.

Building on the rock-solid scalability, communication and data storage capabilities of the AWS IoT Platform , we provide an IoT middleware suite that includes a device builder portal, device agent, data management service, device analytics, visual low-code app designer and over-the-air updates. Everything you need to quickly create your device management solution.

Complete IoT middleware

Focus on what matters most: your product — and let EmbedThis handle the entire device management process. Rather than piecing together multiple AWS services and building your own data management, analytics, and device management applications, rely on the EmbedThis Ioto solution. Ioto configures the cloud service, data plane, security, and device agent for you, substantially reducing risk and freeing you from non-core IoT tasks. In doing so, you can save up to 90% of your IoT design time.

Security and Peace of Mind

The Ioto solution uses local governance of device data, redundancy and encryption to safeguard your data.

Learn more

Device Data

Your device data is not stored with other customer tenants data. Your data is stored in a dedicated, private AWS DynamoDB database in a local AWS region of your choosing. Your device data never transits another service or network and goes directly from your device to your device cloud.

Control and Privacy

For absolute control, you can host your device cloud in a dedicated AWS account you own. With this dedicated hosting, you have 100% privacy and control over the governance, storage and management of your device data.

Robust AWS IoT

Your data will be reliably stored with 6 data replicas and full point-in-time backups. Your compute logic will run in 3 AWS availability zones for maximum uptime.

Encrypted Communications

All communications are encrypted end-to-end and your device data and commands never transit another service or network. Device data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
