Device Agent
CloudCommand Agent (CC_Agent) is responsible for the secure and reliable connectivity to the cloud and the “plug and connect” service, allowing for zero touch deployment of devices in the field.
CC_Agent is seamlessly updated from the cloud to provide each controlled device with incremental functionality, without requiring firmware upgrades. This allows OEM/ODMs to dynamically offer different levels of functionality and price for the same hardware while also opening the possibility of third-party developers seamless integrating new functionalities into CloudCommand controlled devices. This can include applications such as Hotspot services for Wi-Fi, online backup for NAS, content filtering for routers/gateways or active alerting for security cameras.
Architected to be incredibly simple for OEMs/ODMs to integrate into their devices via a flexible layer of scripts, it leverages patented technology developed at PARC, a XEROX company, to ensure to ensure a superior level of control reliability and communication security. Embedded security certification guarantees that all the management and control traffic to and from the VMC is encrypted.
- Device agnostic: It connects to the cloud any type of networking device.
- Integrates easily: Partners can independently integrate it into their devices with minimal effort.
- Dynamic: It adapts to the diverse feature sets of different devices.
- Small footprint: It accomplishes all its connectivity, security and access control duties while requiring only a few hundred kilobytes of memory.
- Self-updating: It automatically updates into deployed devices without requiring firmware upgrades as new features become available.
