Serial Console for Scalable Network

Scale critical infrastructure with speed and reliability built in

The Nodegrid Serial Console Plus (NSCP) helps scale your datacenter and critical remote infrastructure, without management obstacles or downtime.

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 keep data free from slowdowns, while the multi-core Intel CPU delivers blazing responsiveness. Built-in 5G/4G LTE and Wi-Fi options give you reliable cellular failover and secure out-of-band access, so you can keep it all online all the time.
