About ZPE Systems
ZPE Systems is a pioneering company specializing in network and infrastructure management solutions that empower organizations to optimize their operations through advanced out-of-band (OOB) management and automation technologies.
Established in 2013, ZPE Systems has developed the Nodegrid platform, which integrates both physical and software solutions to streamline network management across data centers, branches, and edge environments.
Streamlining management infrastructure for data center, branch, and edge
ZPE’s Nodegrid platform provides physical and software solutions to enable Big Tech’s best practices for network operations.
Nodegrid Serial Consoles and Services Routers deliver secure out-of-band (OOB) management access, while the onboard Nodegrid OS hosts VMs and containers for your choice of apps, tools, and automation solutions.
The ZPE Cloud management software gives you a bird’s-eye view of every business site where you can perform routine maintenance, deploy automation scripts, or fully rebuild environments to recover from cyberattacks.
Network and Infrastructure Management Solutions
ZPE Systems’s network and infrastructure management solutions reduce management headaches by delivering reliable out-of-band (OOB) management and powerful automation capabilities on a vendor-neutral platform.
The ZPE Systems journey
Since 2013, ZPE’s extensible, secure-by-design Nodegrid platform has served as the drop-in solution for achieving everything from remote troubleshooting to infrastructure-as-code, hyperautomation, and an isolated control plane that’s resilient to outages and cyberattacks. With direct input from Big Tech, we’ve perfected Nodegrid to help our customers achieve excellence by cutting their workloads, automating operations, and quickly patching and recovering from ransomware. We now serve 6 out of the 10 top tech giants as well as 400 other valued customers.
Use case: Gen 3 OOB and IMI for hyperscale data centers
An out-of-band management network (a.k.a., an isolated management infrastructure, as written by CISA) gives admin access to devices via a fully independent network, removing management interfaces from the production network. This mitigates the risk of human error taking your production network offline while preventing malicious actors from laterally accessing management infrastructure. IMI simplifies and accelerates remediation, and Gen 3 serial consoles offer a drop-in approach to deploying an IMI.
Nodegrid IMI is a CISA-defined best practice for hyperscale data centers because it:
- Provides 24/7 remote access to your vital data center infrastructure, even if your WAN link goes down, so you can troubleshoot and recover without expensive truck rolls.
- Allows you to fight through cyberattacks using full remote access to isolate, cleanse, and recover production gear without exposing yourself.
- Lets you avoid performance impacts on the production network and end-users by performing resource-intensive network orchestration on the IMI’s dedicated management plane.
Product Highlight: The Nodegrid Serial Console Plus (NSCP)
The Nodegrid Serial Console Plus (NSCP) lets you connect 16, 32, 48, or 96 (Patent No. 9,905,980) serial devices and quickly scale to millions of nodes. Dual SFP+ and dual Ethernet ports eliminate slowdowns, while the multi-core Intel processor delivers blazing responsiveness. Built-in 5G/4G and Wi-Fi options provide reliable cellular failover and secure OOB access, providing 24/7 access.
