| As an automation platform, Uplogix performs basic network monitoring and management actions for just about any device. |
While the “Internet of things” is gaining steam in popular
culture with promises of transforming the world as we know it, one of the key
hurdles to widespread adoption is the necessity of standards. Uplogix Local
Management is an example of an M2M solution that works in a technology space
(network management) where there are a large number of vendors, devices and
proprietary operating systems.

A recent
article on Channel Partners Online stated that standardization is the key
to capitalizing on M2M platforms. It calls for adaptable technologies that will
complement communications service providers (CSPs) existing networks. Industry
leaders AT&T and Verizon both offer platforms for M2M development, but still
require customers to commit to one network or another.

An example of an adaptable technology already working in M2M
is the Uplogix platform. Connecting to devices for networking like routers,
switches, firewalls, etc.; communications gear like satellite modems and
antenna controllers; and really any device with a console port, Uplogix manages
devices from different vendors and reports into third-party dashboards and management
systems. A console connection is a base level input to a device provided for
troubleshooting by a technician.

By providing an intelligent machine (the Uplogix Local
Manager or LM) with onboard processing, storage and a configurable rules engine
access through the console port, Uplogix is able to operate in “Native Mode”
where the LM automatically manages a device for the most common issues that
tend to cause the bulk of downtime cases. Uplogix provides automated monitoring
and device recovery as well as secure remote access for human technicians to
intervene when needed.

This type of M2M management delivered by Uplogix combines
automation with capabilities to serve as a remote toolbox for technicians is a
requirement for scaling the Internet of things in the near term as even broader
standards are developed and implemented.
