Exosite Murano IoT Platform Overview
Exosite’s Murano IoT platform is a comprehensive, cloud-based solution designed to accelerate the development, deployment, and management of connected products for commercial and industrial applications.
What Murano Does
Murano enables organizations to quickly create and deliver sophisticated IoT solutions by providing an end-to-end ecosystem. This platform helps in connecting devices, managing data, hosting applications, and integrating custom business logic, thereby significantly reducing the time-to-market and implementation costs associated with developing connected products from scratch.
Key Features and Functionality
Device Connectivity and Security
Murano features robust device connectivity capabilities, allowing organizations to quickly and securely connect devices to the cloud. It includes tools for managing large fleets of devices, such as device configuration, firmware updates, and security keys. The platform supports TLS certificates for device provisioning and integrates with PKI services providers to ensure data security at rest, in motion, and in use.
Custom APIs and Application Hosting
Murano allows developers to define custom web-service APIs, providing flexibility in deciding the context, application logic, and device/user access for their solutions. The platform also offers static application file hosting, enabling the development and hosting of complete IoT systems in one place. This is backed by Exosite’s technical support team and 24/7 monitoring.
Scalability and Infrastructure Management
Murano is designed to handle the challenges of scaling infrastructure, allowing organizations to focus on their business rather than managing operations and maintenance. It supports multi-tenant hosted infrastructure, as well as dedicated cloud and on-premise hosting options for businesses with specific requirements, such as private networks or air-gapped use cases.
Integration and Micro-Services
The platform is built with an open philosophy, offering open APIs and pre-integration with other public cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Murano’s advanced micro-services and scripting capabilities facilitate further integrations with hardware, business software, or custom analytic insight services.
Condition Monitoring and ExoSense Integration
Murano supports Exosite’s ExoSense condition monitoring application, which is highly configurable and designed to monitor equipment, systems, vehicles, or sites. ExoSense provides real-time dashboards, visualizations, and tools to simplify setup and installation, making it an integral part of Murano for comprehensive asset management.
IoT Marketplace and Hardware Connectors
Murano integrates with Exosite’s Exchange IoT Marketplace, where users can deploy ExoSense solutions, access hardware IoT Connectors, and utilize Insight services. This marketplace facilitates the deployment of off-the-shelf solutions and the connection of third-party hardware.
