ZentriOS is a complete IoT operating system specifically
designed for resource constrained applications such as those using
ARM Cortex M3/M4 type microcontrollers with only 100 Kbytes of RAM.
ZentriOS-powered products can be readily connected to major cloud
providers including Amazon AWS, IBM Bluemix, Microsoft Azure, and
Salesforce. Customers can manage these solutions using the Zentri
Device Management Service, which provides commercial grade
authentication, product geo-location and an enterprise embedded
application store for domain specific product apps. The Zentri
Mobile software development kit further simplifies device
discovery, seamless product setup, and device connectivity from iOS
and Android smartphones.
“ZentriOS is a differentiator for our customers’ technical
teams, enabling them to deliver IoT products in weeks without the
need to hire specialized developers,” said Alex Iuorio, senior vice
president, supplier marketing and business development, Avnet
Electronics Marketing Americas. “When coupled with Zentri’s Device
Management Service, our customers will benefit from product
insights that not only accelerate the development of future
products, but also improve the customer’s product experience.”
“Avnet’s broad geographic reach along with their unparalleled
level of service toward customers requiring hardware, software and
cloud solutions for IoT make them a perfect channel representative
for Zentri,” said Nick Dutton vice president, embedded, Zentri.
“Customers are looking for a pragmatic solution that focuses first
on reliable and secure fleet management, which is only possible
when you do the hard part right – making sure the product has a
full featured IoT optimized OS.”
