Case Study: Octave Energy achieves secure, scalable OTA updates with Mender

Octave Energy secures 99% uptime with Mender

Octave Energy, a Belgian leader in smart and flexible energy solutions, faced a challenge in scaling its fleet of energy management systems. Their manual, device-by-device update process using SSH was time-consuming, error-prone, and insecure, which threatened their growth from 100 to thousands of devices. They needed a robust, automated over-the-air (OTA) update solution that would integrate with their existing AWS infrastructure without requiring a complete platform replacement. They selected Mender for its OTA update capabilities.

Mender provided a secure and scalable OTA update solution featuring an A/B partition architecture for safe updates and automatic rollback. This integration eliminated manual processes, ensured fleet-wide consistency, and significantly improved Octave Energy's security posture. The solution allowed their team to focus on core product development while Mender reliably handled device security and management, providing the foundation to support thousands of devices and future business growth for over a decade.
