ZPE Systems NodeGrid Serial Console™Resilient IT infrastructure management

T Series Advanced Console Server

ZPE Systems® NodeGrid Serial Console™ is the data center’s new generation console server providing secure, hyperscale remote access to all serially connected IT devices, regardless of manufacturer.

Problem: Data centers have increasingly heterogeneous infrastructure: old and new, physical and virtual, and many different vendors. DC and NOC staff are tasked to do more with less. Downtime means lost revenue and frustration.

Solution: ZPE Systems’ feature rich NodeGrid Serial Console provides fast, secure and reliable In-Band and Out-of-Band access to server, network, storage, power and other serial console devices for faster problem resolution. In addition, when coupled with ZPE’s vendor-neutral NodeGrid Manager® software, authorized IT staff immediately have access to all other physical and virtual devices (VM, Service Processor and KVM/IP) managed by the software, providing a truly hyper-converged infrastructure management solution.

T SERIES BENEFITS:

• Minimizes MTTR, downtime and expenses with secure, centralized remote device access and control

• Increases site reliability with open industry standard hardware, and simplified easy-to-use software

• Reduce human error and increase efficiency with a unified command stack

• Fast, reliable industry standard hardware with dual-core 1.75 GHz Intel CPU, 4GB RAM, 32GB SSD storage, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (SFP fiber optional) and single/dual AC/DC power input for greater flexibility

• NEW high-density 96 port edition for greater rack density and design flexibility plus standard 16, 32 or 48 serial port editions

• Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for fast and easy setup

• Integrates with ZPE Systems® NodeGrid Manager® vendor-neutral hyper-converged console management solution

• Direct Linux shell access, not just HTML5 web portal and command line

• Modern 64-bit Linux Kernel with software defined capabilities for fast security patching and widespread software availability

• Docker-optimized for quick, flexible script and application integration, without impeding core console server functionality

• Extended Automation based on actionable real-time data

• Failover to 4G/LTE modem• Bare metal PXE boot and system configuration

checksum

• CIOs, DC/NOC teams, IT managers and admin staff responsible for managing local and remote IT infrastructures

• DevOps and engineering staff requiring fast, reliable access to lab and test environments

• Colocation, cloud and hosting companies and service providers

• Overworked and busy IT staff

NEW!

HIGHER STANDARDS

Fast. No more waiting! NodeGrid Serial Console’s lighting fast CPU and SSD memory coupled with a modern 64-bit Linux OS handle 1,000 concurrent users

over Gigabit Ethernet connections. Dual-core x86-64 CPUs can handle more simultaneous operations, users and I/O faster than older, less robust console servers. Faster CPU cycles allow processing of other user defined workloads in addition to routine console routing and monitoring tasks.

Secure. Blends existing policy-based enterprise AD/LDAP authentication and authorization with the latest in cryptographic protocols and cypher suite levels, up-to-

date SSL and SSH data encryption, IP filtering and a system configuration checksum to help your company stay secure.

Reliable. Designed by award-winning console industry veterans. Built using reliable and open modular industry standard hardware components, with failover to 4G/LTE.
