Enhancements include boosts in scalability, security, and deployment simplicity to support scalable, secure edge operations
San Francisco (August 5th, 2025) – IOTech Systems, the leader in open edge computing, announces the latest release of IOTech Edge Manager™, its open and scalable edge management solution. Version 3.1 builds on the platform’s proven ability to simplify and automate the management of edge systems at scale with new features enhancements that improve system resilience, streamline deployment, and strengthen security across diverse edge environments.
Smarter Tooling for Reliable, Flexible Edge Control
Edge Manager features an intuitive web-based user interface that is delivered with several key enhancements in this release, including:
- Improved Systemd integration for more reliable service management
- Refined SSH tunnel stability for secure and dependable remote access
- Streamlined, more resilient port forwarding to simplify configuration and reduce connection issues
These updates reduce configuration complexity and make Edge Manager easier to deploy, manage, and use.

The 3.1 release adds support for private registries with transparent caching, enabling faster and more secure image delivery. Users can now define custom node labels during provisioning for more granular orchestration and classification of edge nodes.
Other highlights include:
- Seamless integration with the OpenBao secret store for secure credential management
- Enhanced server backup and restore capabilities
- Autonomous agent updates and recovery to reduce manual intervention and downtime
- Full support for Ubuntu 24.04 edge nodes
- Numerous performance and stability improvements
