It is a challenge to keep a fleet of embedded Linux IoT devices secure, updated and connected. qbee.io is a fully hosted device management platform that includes remote VPN access and OTA software update capabilities. Therefore, it increases security and adds configuration management and device automation. Secondly, it also adds device metrics and CVE security analysis.
The IoT device management platform works vendor agnostic. Just install the qbee agent package. Different Linux or Yocto pull-based agent packages are available. In other words, this allows simple OTA software updates on a large fleet of devices.
Our remote connection works across mobile networks, NAT and firewalls without the need for a fixed IP. For instance, you can tunnel any remote port to your local device. Above all, it allows simple remote VNC access or remote secure web server access. As an example it is very easy to connect to Node-Red behind a firewall.
But does this only work on embedded device? Of course it is possible to use qbee with regular servers as well.
