Morgan Hill, United States – EMQ, the provider of open-source IoT data infrastructure, recently strengthened its ties with Amazon Web Services (AWS) by introducing its EMQX Cloud service to the AWS Marketplace.

AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog that organisations can use to find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software that runs on AWS. Now it’s easier than ever for AWS subscribers to get started with EMQX Cloud by simply acquiring it in AWS Marketplace.

The launch also improves accessibility and convenience for AWS users that already use the EMQX Cloud service with pay-as-you-go billing. Their usage can now be automatically reflected in their monthly AWS bill.

In addition, EMQX Cloud can be easily combined with other AWS infrastructure and cloud services like Amazon S3, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon Redshift. EMQX Cloud also supports the establishment of a secure, stable private connection to AWS services via AWS PrivateLink. This feature enables bi-directional connectivity between public cloud services and EMQX Cloud deployments via intranet IP addresses (Click here to see how to set up PrivateLink connections in EMQX Cloud).

In line with its goal to power digital transformation through open source IoT data infrastructure, EMQ has focused on increasing the performance and scalability of its distributed MQTT messaging server EMQX as a way to accelerate the connectivity and integration of a wide spectrum of IoT applications. EMQX has become the scalable and reliable MQTT broker, adopted by over 20,000 global users across 50+ countries and connecting 100M+ IoT devices worldwide. It also introduce an implementation of MQTT over QUIC and the distributed MQTT broker to support 100M concurrent IoT device connections per cluster.

EMQX Cloud, built on EMQX, is the fully managed, cloud-native MQTT 5.0 messaging service for IoT. To help organisations fully enjoy the advantages of resource pooling in the cloud era, EMQX Cloud brings one-stop O&M colocation and reliable, real-time IoT data movement, processing, and integration so users can efficiently develop IoT applications on the public cloud without the infrastructure O&M burden.

EMQX Cloud can also scale elastically on demand to handle unpredictable throughput changes and integrate with over 40+ cloud services out of the box.

As the most widely used cloud platform in the world, AWS is the public cloud platform supported by EMQX Cloud. With AWS’s stable global infrastructure network and EMQX Cloud’s connectivity and high concurrency product features, organisations can now deploy MQTT services in multiple regions supported by AWS to quickly start IoT business.

Apart from EMQX Cloud, EMQ offers its enterprise MQTT platform EMQX Enterprise for its on-premises customers. EMQX Enterprise is suitable for various IoT application scenarios, helping organisations to quickly build business-critical IoT applications without barriers to performance and development. It supports any deployment on public or private cloud, physical machine, or container/K8S.

“EMQ customers have been using AWS services for years. AWS is an amazing public cloud infrastructure platform that helps users run their IoT applications in the cloud seamlessly and smoothly,” says Feng Lee, founder and CEO at EMQ. “By deepening our partnership with AWS, we are making the EMQX product suite more accessible to the thousands of future customers who want to deploy out-of-the-box, on-demand MQTT messaging services on their AWS infrastructure. Our collaboration with AWS can absolutely give our joint customers the power to accelerate modernisation and achieve their digital transformation goals.”

Last year, EMQ joined the AWS partner network (APN), and three months ago, EMQ joined the APN global startup program, a “white glove” support and go-to-market (GTM) program for selected APN partners, which allows EMQ to leverage AWS’s proven infrastructure and portfolio of services to support product development.

After some cooperation between EMQ and AWS, the two organisations have improved integration in many dimensions of their products and ecosystem. EMQ is planning more such complementary tie-ins with the AWS to further accelerate the new global digital economy.
