Customer Case Study: 100% Network Availability for DigiCert

How does DigiCert achieve near 100% network availability? DigiCert’s Aaron Lott explains how ZPE Systems’ Nodegrid improves network uptime and cuts man-hours 50%.

In this testimonial video, Aaron walks you through the challenges of deploying and maintaining distributed network infrastructure. With DigiCert serving 90% of Fortune 500 companies, they require reliable network components that connect customers to the services they need and protect their sensitive data. But their architectures were becoming increasingly complex at the data center and branch, which increased IT support’s response times. They were devoting too many hours to MTTI (mean time to innocence) protocols, and were also in need of a redundant solution that could provide high network availability.

They chose a combination of all-in-one Nodegrid devices and ZPE Cloud for remote management. Not only did this allow them to streamline their physical IT footprint with 4-to-1 device reduction, but they also gained the ability to provision and manage sites remotely via the cloud. This provided them with reliable network access via several connection paths, which helped them drastically reduce response times while achieving near 100% network uptime.

Nodegrid Serial Console Plus: Gen 3 Out-of-Band at Scale

Explainers & How-to’s

Nodegrid Serial Console Plus: Gen 3 Out-of-Band at Scale

The Nodegrid Serial Console Plus (NSCP) delivers hyper scale remote access and Gen 3 out-of-band to the data center. Featuring up to 96 ports, the NSCP enables secure management of all IT devices in the rack, and comes with Wi-Fi & 5G/4G LTE. Provide concurrent Ethernet for your WAN links, and get reliable cellular backup for your main connections and your out-of-band path.

The onboard Intel CPU and Linux-based Nodegrid OS help you bootstrap, provision, configure, and manage critical IT environments. Nodegrid OS provides Gen 3 out-of-band along with auto-discovery of networked devices. This vendor-neutral operating system helps you automate using #Ansible, #Chef, #Python, and #RESTful APIs. It also allows you to spin up virtual machines to run containers and applications of your choice.

Take advantage of hyperautomation to minimize human intervention and maximize uptime. The built-in security features like encrypted disk, UEFI secure boot, properly-integrated TPM 2.0, and two-way cloud authentication mean you get a secure root of trust for all your hardware, software, and management integrations. There are no more version compatibility issues, either — the Nodegrid OS is validated at million-node scale to lock out threats.

Nodegrid Gate SR: Versatile Services Router for Critical IT

For critical IT, the Nodegrid Gate SR enables more than networking and connectivity. This powerful services router features a variety of interfaces to enable remote out-of-band management of your sites. Connect to servers, routers, switches, USB devices, sensors, PoE appliances, and IoT with a single box.

The onboard Intel CPU and Linux-based Nodegrid OS help you bootstrap, provision, configure, and manage critical IT environments. Nodegrid OS provides Gen 3 out-of-band along with auto-discovery of networked devices. This vendor-neutral operating system helps you automate using #Ansible, #Chef, #Python, and #RESTful APIs. It also allows you to spin up virtual machines to run containers and applications of your choice.

Take advantage of hyperautomation to minimize human intervention and maximize uptime. The Nodegrid Gate SR also features 5G/4G LTE that provides backup connectivity — both for production networks and out-of-band paths. This redundancy ensures your critical IT never goes down, and gives you always-on access for troubleshooting and management.

An Automation Blueprint for Deploying, Destroying, & Redeploying Edge Networks

Why are there so many #cybersecurity products, but more and more attacks & payouts?

In this demo from @ONUG Spring 2022, Director of Solution Engineering Rene Neumann walks you through our proof of concept based on customers in Ukraine. See how they’re using our open Nodegrid platform to unify their multi-vendor environments and protect against physical & cyber attacks. They’re able to freely orchestrate how they deploy, destroy, and redeploy edge data centers using tools of their choice — from Gluware to Ansible to Kentik and others.

Our open platform supports your network automation initiatives and enables holistic security at foundational hardware & software levels.

Networking Field Day 26: Deploying & Managing Critical Remote Edge Infrastructure

Koroush Saraf explains why edge infrastructure is increasingly distributed, and why configuring, updating, and managing IT now presents more challenges regarding connectivity and security. ZPE systems’ Nodegrid Services Routers and ZPE Cloud overcome these obstacles. Nodegrid devices serve as the on-ramp to Security Service Edge and EdgeOps, able to onboard edge services such as SD-WAN and security, and spin up edge compute workloads such as data thinning and NGFWs — all using automation delivered securely via ZPE Cloud.

Presented by Koroush Saraf, VP Product Management & Marketing and Arnaldo Zimmermann, CEO & Co-Founder. Presented on September 16, 2021 as part of Networking Field Day 26. Watch the entire presentation at
