In the previous posts of our series "Evolving OTA from Concept to Production," we explored the challenges of implementing an effective over-the-air (OTA) update strategy as your IoT product matures. In this final post, we'll introduce you to Peridio, a flexible and scalable OTA solution designed to help you achieve OTA excellence for your production-ready IoT devices, and discuss the different integration strategies available.

Peridio: Streamlining OTA for Complex IoT Deployments

Peridio is a comprehensive device management platform that provides the advanced features and capabilities needed to manage firmware updates and device provisioning at scale. With Peridio, you can benefit from:

1. Centralized Device Management
2. Granular Access Controls
3. Intelligent Rollout Targeting
4. Automated Workflows Integrated with CI/CD Pipelines
5. Real-Time Monitoring and Analytics of Update Resolution

Flexible Integration Strategies

One of the key advantages of Peridio is its flexibility when it comes to integration with your existing IoT infrastructure. Peridio offers two main integration strategies to suit your specific needs and requirements:

1. Direct Integration: In this approach, your IoT devices communicate directly with the Peridio platform for firmware updates. This is the easiest and most straightforward integration method, particularly for teams looking to minimize the amount of IoT infrastructure they need to manage themselves. With direct integration, your devices securely connect to Peridio from the field, eliminating the need for complex on-premises update servers or middleware.
2. Indirect Integration (Brokered Update): If you have an existing IoT infrastructure that you wish to maintain, Peridio can seamlessly integrate with your current setup using our powerful SDK or API. In this "brokered update" strategy, your devices continue to communicate with your own infrastructure, but behind the scenes, Peridio is leveraged to determine the appropriate firmware version to distribute to each device. This approach allows you to maintain your existing communication channels and protocols while still benefiting from Peridio's advanced OTA capabilities.

Regardless of the integration strategy you choose, Peridio provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing your device inventory, orchestrating firmware releases, and monitoring update progress and success rates. With Peridio, you can streamline your OTA process, reduce manual effort, and ensure a seamless update experience for your end-users.
