Cascade Edge-as-a-Service

Rigado Cascade provides IoT teams with secure edge computing, a containerized application platform, scalable management tools and a variety of connectivity options.

Cascade-500 IoT Gateway: Edge Connectivity, Computing & Security for Commercial IoT

• The right hardware mix: Rigado’sCascade-500 IoT Gateway is the hardware component of its Cascade Edge-as-a-Service solution. It gives teams building IoT solutions flexible edge computing power with just the right mix of performance (800MHz ARM A7 with 512MB RAM & 8GB of storage), features, and efficiency for Commercial IoT applications.
• Simple, flexible, extended connectivity: Full range of IoT networking options to support both existing devices and future-proof solutions – including Bluetooth 5, 802.15.4, Mesh, Wi-Fi, Cellular and more.

Edge Connect: Secure connectivity and computing platform with containerized edge OS

• Containerized edge environment: Ubuntu Core OS with simple ‘Snap’ application packaging system to make it easier for developers to build and maintain applications at the edge
• Secure multi-application environment: Easily and securely install and run multiple
  IoT applications on a single gateway
• Easy device connectivity: APIs to gather data from common sensors and beacons – requiring no device or protocol expertise
• Cloud integration agents: Integrate with major cloud providers quickly and easily using code samples

Edge Direct: Intuitive tools for orchestration & edge performance

• Quickly orchestrate updates and deploy builds: Schedule, manage and apply application and OS updates, and integrates with DevOps systems
• Reliable, remote maintenance and upgrades: Remotely upgradeable with atomic transactional upgrades and roll-back ability. Secure OTA updates keep technicians out of the field
• Securely provision devices: Gateways are provisioned with secure IDs and encrypted keys, enabling verified field updates
• Easily monitor and alert: Monitor, log and create alerts around key performance metrics such as CPU load and connectivity

Edge Protect: End-to-end security for IoT edge infrastructure

• Secure from the start: Gateways are created with a Secure Element and encrypted key at the point of manufacture.
• Signed updates & verified execution: Initial programming & all future updates are signed & verified for run-time protection
• Encrypted edge environment: All applications run in secure containers, on an encrypted OS & file system with Secure Boot.
• Updates to keep gateway secure in the field: Regular security patches are tested & published by Rigado as new risks emerge.
