UNIFIED MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING OF IoT NODES WITH MULTIPLE NETWORK CONNECTIONS

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more network interfaces;
• a processor coupled to the one or more network interfaces and configured to execute one or more processes;
• and
• a memory configured to store a process that is executable by the processor, the process when executed configured to:
• receive data regarding a node from a plurality of management platforms, each management platform being associated with a different access network used by the node;
• apply a unified data model to the data regarding the node received from the plurality of management platforms, to form unified data regarding the node;
• analyze the unified data regarding the node, to generate insight information;
• and
• provide the insight information to an application associated with a manufacturer of the node.

A computer-readable medium that is tangible, non-transitory, and stores program instructions that cause a device to execute a process comprising:

• receiving, at the device, data regarding a node from a plurality of management platforms, each management platform being associated with a different access network used by the node;
• applying, by the device, a unified data model to the data regarding the node received from the plurality of management platforms, to form unified data regarding the node;
• analyzing, by the device, the unified data regarding the node, to generate insight information;
• and
• providing, by the device, the insight information to an application associated with a manufacturer of the node.
