Xively (formerly known as Cosm and Pachube) was an Internet of Things (IoT) platform owned by Google. Xively offered product companies a way to connect products, manage connected devices and the data they produce, and integrate that data into other systems. It is pronounced "zively" (rhymes with lively). Its domain name redirects to a Google page about Cloud IoT Core, though that has been retired.

History
In 2007, London architect Usman Haque[2] founded Pachube (pronounced Patch bay) as a data infrastructure and community for the Internet of Things. Following the nuclear accidents in Japan in 2011, Pachube was used by volunteers to interlink Geiger counters across the country to monitor the fallout.[3] In July 2011, Pachube announced that they had been acquired by LogMeIn and renamed to Cosm.[4] Cosm came out of beta development and was rebranded as Xively to become a Public Cloud for the IoT in May 2013.
On February 16, 2018, Google announced via official statement regarding acquiring Xively[5] from LogMeIn on March 20, 2018.[6]
