Avnet’s IoTConnect Platform to include
preconfigured and managed AWS IoT services to enable simple, fast,
and secure IoT implementations for OEMs
Through a new global strategic collaboration agreement, Avnet
(Nasdaq: AVT) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are focused on helping
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of IoT solutions accelerate
their time to market. This multi-year, joint investment will enable
Avnet’s IoTConnect Platform to deliver the breadth and depth of
AWS’ portfolio of services—creating a scalable, secure platform
that preconfigures AWS’ services for application-specific
usage.
Avnet’s IoTConnect Platform helps OEMs that are designing
connected solutions overcome the pressures of time to market,
scalability, reliability, and security. Many OEMs today are lean
organizations that need to continue to invest in the resources that
provide differentiated value and deliver the expertise to their
market. Adding cloud-connected experiences to their product
offerings often strains these organizations because IoT requires
additional software, security, and cloud management skillsets.
Having access to pre-integrated and abstracted capabilities that
they can easily assemble and deploy can greatly accelerate their
efforts and reduce overhead.
This strategic collaboration provides Avnet’s IoTConnect
Platform with access to AWS’ portfolio of services, including IoT,
machine learning, analytics, and compute services. Avnet customers
will soon have access to an aggregated IoT development experience
across AWS services, including AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT Greengrass,
FreeRTOS, AWS IoT Analytics, and AWS IoT SiteWise. The
collaboration between Avnet and AWS will benefit OEMs by providing:
(a) Device provisioning, configuration and lifecycle management,
(b) Multi-layer security, (c) Multi-protocol connectivity, (d)
Integration of 3rd party services, API gateway, SDKs, (e) Business
Intelligence (BI) with data monitoring, analytics and
notifications, (f) Pre-built business applications. This allows
OEMs to focus on the development of features and applications that
truly elevate their connected products and accelerates time to
market.
Powered by AWS, Avnet’s IoTConnect Platform will provide
advanced capabilities such as pre-integrated edge-to-cloud hardware
designs and full lifecycle secure device and identity management.
It will also provide OEMs with seamlessly scalable full-stack
solutions that include hardware agnostic edge designs, as well as
tailored business applications and analytics. All of these
capabilities will be delivered through a single aggregated
experience via Avnet’s IoTConnect Platform which enables OEMs,
systems integrators, and software developers to secure, monetize
and support end-customer solutions.
“Today, Avnet lives at the intersection of connected technology
by regularly working with leading hardware manufacturers and
building our expertise at the edge and cloud. With our help, OEMs
don’t have to go it alone to deliver simple, fast and secure IoT
implementations,” said Lou Lutostanski, Vice President of IoT,
Avnet. “Our collaboration with AWS will help OEMs design, build,
deploy and manage cloud connected devices, applications and
solutions at scale.”
