WISE-PaaS/RMM
From ESS-WIKI
WISE-PaaS/RMM is part of Advantech WISE-PaaS cloud solution, and focuses on remote device management and monitoring. WISE-PaaS/RMM serves as an IoT device management platform that manages connected devices remotely, providing centralized management features, including HW/SW status monitoring, remote control, system backup/recovery, etc. Moreover, it supports server redundancy and hierarchical server management, which increases service reliability and availability. WISE-PaaS/RMM utilizes standard IoT protocol, like MQTT from IBM, to communicate with IPCs, IoT gateways and sensors, provides WISE Agent framework for data acquisition from devices, and offers RESTful API web service, which allows the user to integrate RMM functions with other applications or do further customization.

History
- SUSIAccess 1.0
- Advantech has been developing the SUSI API series since 2004 to create convenient management solutions for embedded applications. After the original security features of eSOS (a small embedded OS used to boot up a system when the major OS boot-up fails) were introduced in 2009, Advantech launched SUSIAccess in Q2 2011, incorporating the latest cloud computing concepts. This version enables users to remotely control, configure and manage, multiple terminal devices and data, as well as providing system maintenance, backup and recovery.
- SUSIAccess 2.0/2.1
- In the second half of 2011, Advantech launched SUSIAccess 2.0 software designed for Intel technology development (IAMT).In November 2012, Advantech released the Linux version of SUSIAccess 2.0, an innovative remote device management software preloaded in all Advantech embedded solutions, allowing efficient remote monitoring, quick recovery and backup, and real-time remote configuration.
- SUSIAccess 3.0
- July 18, 2014, Taipei–Advantech announced SUSIAccess 3.0 management software services with significant function enhance ents, including web-based structure , seamless SW/HW monitoring, and user-friendly map-view interface. With the coming of the IoT era, the effective management and maintenance of numerous, widely deployed, intelligent devices is an increasingly big challenge. To help meet this challenge, Advantech has made a big push, and is now unveiling the latest version of SUSIAccess 3.0, aiming to accelerate the adoption of device designs and ensuring manageability, security, and connectivity. All these features hugely enhance efficiency and decrease maintenance costs, revolutionizing device management.
- WISE-PaaS/RMM 3.1/3.2
- Based on SUSIAccess series product design, Advantech aims at crossing the hurdles of IoT and build an innovative IoT platform, IoT Device Remote Monitoring and Management Platform (RMM). RMM provides device management services for not only IPCs and embedded board systems, but also a wide variety of IoT gateways and sensors. Advantech WISE-PaaS/RMM is a reliable data and gateway management software platform services that supports MQTT and provides 100+ RESTful APIs. It provides data storage, data management, and gateway management services to connect gateways at the bottom to the applications at the top. WISE-PaaS/RMM plays a critical role in the middle tier, connecting different gateways, and transporting the filtered data to different applications. The MQTT protocol bridges the communication gap across the gateways with WISE-PaaS/RMM in the middle. WISE-PaaS/RMM provides 100+RESTful APIs and plays a key role in transporting data to top level applications. They are a widely used popular web service standard now, used by all the major internet companies. RESTful API’s transport data to all the different web services and systems like dashboards used for monitoring, big data storage, and much more. WISE-PaaS/RMM performs key functions for both gateway connectivity and application integration. These cloud-based building blocks can help businesses to cross the critical “technical gap” in IoT application development.
- WISE-PaaS/RMM 4.0
- In 2017, after geting great success in all kind of IoT applications and collecting lots of market demands, next upcoming version addresses four feature highlights
- 1) Resilient & Flexible Clustering Structure
- Provides scalable PaaS-level capability to support hundreds of thousands of IoT devices and huge volume of IoT data with multiple cloud connectivity(Azure/Bluemix/AWS/Ali IoT Hub) and hybrid database (SQL/NoSQL DB, Hadoop HBase) support.
- 2) Intelligent Data management
- Combine with Edge device management to provide distributed intelligent computing and preditive maintenance flow for IPC health monitoring and other IoT application.
- 3) Intuitive New UI layout
- Whole new UI framework, adaptive IoT dashboard and predictive maintenance UE to enhance user experience.
- 4) Smart Agent (Device integration)
- Refactor Agent framework and core architecture to smaller and thinner footprint than can support multiple platform and even resource-constraint platform.
- Embedded data cache engine and optimal algorithm to ensure critical data integrity while unexpected disconnect network to achieve data zero-downtime.
Feature Details
Device Management
Monitor remote device status, including device temperature, internet connection, CPU temperature, fan speed, voltage, SW process, CPU/memory usage. System will detect device HW capability, and display items can be monitored. Also provides hierarchical server view, group view, and map view to help the administrator organize and manage the devices more efficiently.

Advanced Server Capability
WISE-PaaS/RMMs support hierarchical server structure view to allow the administrator to manage services/devices across different subnets at the same time (logically) without compromising network segment privacy. Also, RMM allows a server to set 1 or 2 redundant servers, with which all data will be synced continuously and a redundant server will take over when the primary server is down to ensure service availability.
Power Management
Sets the power on/off schedule for remotely located devices; the schedule can be set on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.
Protection Management
WISE-PaaS/RMM system protection is powered by , providing white list protection against unauthorized application execution, and also sending warnings of any unauthorized activities.
Backup & Recovery
WISE-PaaS/RMM system recovery is powered by , providing hot backup and scheduled backup, and also one-click recovery.
Event & Notification
When events occur, prompt notifications can be sent to administrators by email or SMS.
- Event Log
Data Visualization
Supports multiple types of data sources, e.g.: WebSocket and http stream, to feed in predefined 10+ widgets, including Google maps, gauge, sparkline, progress bar, HTML, picture, indicator, to present as live and statistical device data on dashboard.
- Dashboard
- Mobile Pages
High Availability
- Sub Server
- Redundant Server
Security
- SSL
- OAuth 2.0
WISE-PaaS/RMM Extension
Provides RESTful API Web Service, which allows cross-platform integration of RMM functions, and also open WISE Agent framework, which allows a customized handler to collect and process customer device data not defined by default for more flexible device connectivity
