EdgeIQ Symphony Now Available as Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC): Deploy Purpose-Built IoT Orchestration in Your AWS Environment in Under 90 Minutes
EdgeIQ
Enterprise organizations can now deploy the complete EdgeIQ Symphony platform directly into their AWS infrastructure and accounts. This new Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model delivers full data sovereignty and compliance control while expanding deployment flexibility into any global region. EdgeIQ continues to manage seamless platform updates, ensuring innovation without operational overhead.
The Compliance and Operational Challenges Holding Back IoT and Digital Transformation
Connected Product and Enterprise IoT leaders face an impossible choice: deploy quickly with SaaS platforms that can’t meet data sovereignty requirements or spend 12–18 months building custom infrastructure that never matches platform capabilities.
For organizations expanding into regulated markets, navigating EU data localization mandates or operating under strict compliance frameworks (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2) is far more than an inconvenience. It’s a showstopper. Security teams can’t validate black-box SaaS vendors. Finance teams can’t predict opaque infrastructure costs. Compliance officers can’t certify that data stays within required boundaries.
And then there’s the question that keeps CXOs and board members up at night: what happens to critical IoT operations if the platform vendor is acquired, pivots strategy, or goes out of business? With traditional SaaS, you’re betting your mission-critical infrastructure on vendor stability—with no backup plan, no optionality, and no answers for the risk committee.
The result? Innovation stalls. Costs rise. Market opportunities pass. The organization remains exposed to vendor dependency risk with no path to operational resilience.
Today, that changes.
Introducing BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) for EdgeIQ Symphony
EdgeIQ Symphony is now available as a Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment, enabling enterprises to deploy the complete Symphony IoT orchestration platform directly into their own AWS accounts in 60–90 minutes.
This isn’t a limited or self-hosted variant. It’s the full EdgeIQ Symphony platform—device lifecycle management, real-time observability, workflow orchestration, and edge-to-cloud integration—deployed entirely within your AWS environment, under your control, and aligned with your compliance frameworks.
What Makes This Transformational
1. Deploy in an Afternoon, Not a Year
Three simple commands deploy a complete, production-ready IoT orchestration environment:
npm install
./scripts/deploy-infrastructure.sh production --approve
./scripts/apply-k8s-rbac.sh production
In less than two hours, you’ll have:
Amazon EKS Kubernetes cluster (v1.31) with optimized configurations
Aurora PostgreSQL database with multi-AZ high availability
AWS IoT Core with custom authentication and device management
Redis caching infrastructure for sub-millisecond performance
Amazon MSK Kafka cluster for event streaming
CloudFront + S3 front-end hosting with global CDN
Comprehensive CloudWatch monitoring and alerting
All networking, security groups, and IAM roles properly configured
What used to take a year of infrastructure engineering now happens before lunch.
2. Security Teams Validate Before You Deploy
EdgeIQ provides complete infrastructure templates that security teams can review, audit, and approve before any deployment.
No vendor black boxes. No “trust us” assurances. No multi-month security reviews of opaque SaaS platforms.
Security teams can inspect every resource, permission, and data flow in advance. They can run the deployment in a test account, validate controls, and approve with confidence. This is how enterprise-grade security should work.
3. Your Data Never Leaves Your Environment
Every byte of operational data, device telemetry, workflow execution, and business intelligence remains inside your AWS account.
Data sovereignty compliance: built-in by design
Regulatory adherence: your infrastructure, your region, your control
China expansion: deploy in China AWS regions to meet PIPL requirements
EU operations: deploy in EU regions for GDPR compliance
Internal governance: your policies apply natively
Because Symphony runs in your AWS account, your compliance, governance, and security frameworks apply automatically.
4. EdgeIQ Expertise, Zero Operational Burden
While you own the infrastructure, EdgeIQ continues to manage the application platform.
After deployment, EdgeIQ’s delivery pipeline updates the Symphony application layer directly in your environment:
New features and capabilities delivered continuously
Security patches applied without customer action
Platform improvements deployed with zero downtime
You get the control and compliance of self-hosted infrastructure with the operational simplicity of managed SaaS.
5. Complete Cost Visibility and Optimization
Infrastructure costs appear directly on your AWS bill. No vendor markups. No opaque pricing models. No surprise invoices.
This means:
Finance teams see every dollar spent in real-time
Leverage your existing AWS Enterprise Agreements
Apply reserved instances and savings plans
Optimize based on your actual usage patterns
Forecast with confidence using AWS Cost Explorer
For the first time, you have complete infrastructure cost visibility while running a world-class IoT orchestration platform.
6. Answer the Question Every Risk Committee Asks
When boards or risk committees review IoT platform decisions, they ask: “What happens if the vendor is acquired or goes out of business?”
With traditional SaaS, there’s no good answer. Your operations depend entirely on a vendor-controlled environment. If the vendor fails, your business continuity plan fails with it.
BYOC changes that equation.
Your infrastructure, your control: Symphony runs in your AWS account. Infrastructure and data remain under your ownership.
Deployment architecture access: Full visibility into infrastructure-as-code templates and configurations. No black boxes.
Strategic flexibility: Bring operations in-house, engage new support partners, or evolve your operational model without vendor lock-in.
Risk committee confidence: Demonstrate to stakeholders that vendor dependency risk is mitigated and operational continuity options exist.
BYOC establishes the foundation for service continuity. It’s not the complete solution—knowledge transfer, support agreements, and documentation are also essential—but it provides the critical prerequisite: infrastructure ownership and architectural transparency.
For risk officers and CXOs, this is the difference between vendor dependency and true operational resilience.
The Use Cases This Unlocks
Regulated Industries: Utilities, Healthcare, Critical Infrastructure, Public Sector
Deploy IoT capabilities that pass HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and critical infrastructure audits—because auditors can validate your infrastructure before you deploy and confirm data never leaves your environment.
Before BYOC: 6-12 months of vendor security reviews, compliance negotiations, and audit cycles.
With Symphony BYOC: Security reviews infrastructure templates in weeks, deploys in test environment for validation, approves for production deployment.
Global Expansion: Enter China and Restricted Markets
Expand into China and other markets with strict data localization requirements without rebuilding your IoT stack.
Before BYOC: Either blocked from market entry or forced to build separate regional infrastructure.
With Symphony BYOC: Deploy Symphony in customer's China-region AWS account, meet PIPL requirements immediately, launch operations.
Multi-National Operations: One Platform, Many Regions
Maintain operational consistency across global business units while satisfying regional data sovereignty requirements.
Before BYOC: Different platforms per region or compliance gaps with centralized SaaS.
With Symphony BYOC: Same Symphony capabilities globally, each region deployed in local customer AWS for data sovereignty.
Cost-Conscious Enterprises: Maximize AWS Investments
Organizations with significant AWS commitments and reserved capacity can now leverage those investments for IoT infrastructure.
Before BYOC: IoT platform costs separate from AWS, no optimization opportunities.
With Symphony BYOC: IoT infrastructure runs on customer AWS, leverages reserved instances, appears in consolidated billing, optimizes with existing cloud agreements.
Enterprise Risk Management: Business Continuity and Vendor Risk Mitigation
Organizations deploying mission-critical IoT infrastructure need assurance that operations can continue regardless of vendor circumstances—protecting long-term business investments.
Before BYOC: Complete vendor dependency with no continuity options if vendor experiences business disruption, acquisition, or service discontinuation.
With Symphony BYOC: Infrastructure ownership and deployment architecture access establish the foundation for business continuity planning. While full continuity requires additional measures beyond BYOC (knowledge transfer, support agreements, operational documentation), you cannot achieve service continuity without infrastructure control—BYOC provides the necessary prerequisite for resilient operations independent of vendor circumstances.
You don’t have to choose between speed and sovereignty. You get full control, continuous innovation, and a clear path to resilient IoT operations—on your terms.
