More About Xively

Xively refers to an IoT platform that has been positioned for organizations building connected products and services, with a focus on cloud-based connectivity, data management, and integration of device data into business applications and workflows.

In enterprise environments, Xively-branded services have been used as an intermediary layer between embedded devices and business systems, providing cloud endpoints, messaging, and APIs that allow organizations to collect telemetry, operational data, and status information from distributed devices and route that data into analytics tools, CRM or Emergency Response Plan (ERP) platforms, and custom line-of-business applications.

The platform has been associated with common IoT architectural patterns in which constrained devices communicate securely with a cloud service over standard internet protocols, and application developers interact with that service via RESTful APIs or similar web service interfaces to read, store, and act on device data.

Typical usage has involved onboarding devices, assigning them to accounts or customer records, and then using the platform’s data feeds and integration capabilities to support use cases such as remote monitoring, usage tracking, or connected product features exposed through mobile or web applications.

From a directory and taxonomy perspective, Xively aligns with IoT cloud platforms, device data management, and application integration services, sitting between embedded device hardware and enterprise application layers, and providing connectivity, data routing, and management functions that support connected product initiatives.
