Solving IoT orchestration challenges with ZPE Systems
| The challenge: | ZPE’s solution: |
| There are too many IoT devices from too many different vendors, creating a lot of management complexity. | Vendor-neutral management hardware and software that brings IoT devices from multiple vendors under the same management umbrella |
| Outdated device software presents a security threat, but it’s difficult to stay on top of patch schedules for so many IoT devices. | Centralized device monitoring with patch management and the ability to use third-party automation to streamline device updates |
| Automating IoT device management requires learning a vendor’s chosen programming language or staying within a particular ecosystem of solutions. | Open hardware and software that can integrate or directly host custom and third-party applications for automation and more |
| There isn’t always staff on-site to repair IoT devices that lose their network connection or suffer a failure, so costly truck rolls must be deployed. | Out-of-band (OOB) management via 5G/4G LTE to ensure 24/7 remote access for management, troubleshooting, and recovery of IoT devices |
| Many IoT devices are closed platforms that can’t run any third-party security solutions, forcing reliance on the vendor’s built-in or integrated security functionality. | A vendor-neutral management platform that can host and run any third-party security solutions and extend that security to end devices |
Why choose Nodegrid IoT orchestration
Organizations across every industry rely on IoT devices to collect valuable data, interface with end-users, and perform vital functions. With the increasing number and variety of IoT devices comes additional management complexity – each vendor has their own management software and their own ecosystem of tools, making unified IoT device management challenging. In addition, unpatched IoT devices and a lack of third-party security integration increase the attack surface and make holistic, Zero Trust security impossible.
Nodegrid’s vendor-neutral management hardware and software lets you bring all your multi-vendor IoT devices under one roof, giving admins a single platform from which to monitor and orchestrate. Nodegrid can even directly host third-party security solutions like NGFWs and SASE. Plus, with Nodegrid’s serial console servers and integrated services routers, you also get networking capabilities, infrastructure device management, out-of-band (OOB) management, and more.
The Nodegrid IoT orchestration solution delivers
Multi-vendor management: Nodegrid is a unified platform for monitoring, managing, and orchestrating any vendor’s devices, anywhere on the network.
Holistic IoT monitoring: Nodegrid centralizes device monitoring behind a single pane of glass to ensure patches and other issues don’t fall through the cracks.
Limitless automation: Nodegrid’s open architecture can host or integrate custom and third-party automation playbooks for end-to-end IoT automation.
Gen 3 OOB: Nodegrid’s fast and reliable 5G/4G LTE solution is the first Gen 3 OOB platform to support third-party orchestration on the out-of-band network.
Zero trust security: The Nodegrid platform is protected by advanced security features like secure boot, geofencing, and SAML 2.0 integration.
Easy security integrations: Nodegrid boxes can directly run third-party security solutions and extend that security to end devices.

Product highlights
Mini SR
Mini SRThe Nodegrid Mini Services Router (MSR) packs powerful IoT device management capabilities in a 5G-enabled package roughly the size of a smartphone. Despite its small size, the MSR can run third-party security solutions and enable pico-segmentation to cloak connected IoT/OT devices. Deploy the MSR at drive-up kiosks, oil rigs, and other outdoor or hard-to-reach areas with IoT device connectivity.

Gate SR
Gate SRThe Nodegrid Net Services Router (NSR) is a modular solution that you can customize to meet your IoT, branch networking, and infrastructure management needs. With additional storage, computing power, and port configuration modules, you can deploy a bespoke branch-in-a-box running your choice of third-party applications (including Docker containers).
Environmental monitoring sensors
Environmental monitoring sensorsNodegrid’s environmental monitoring sensors give admins a virtual presence in remote data centers, networking closets, and IoT deployment sites. Sensors collect valuable data about airflow, temperature and humidity, particulates, smoke, and dry contact, allowing admins to respond to conditions before they affect the performance and longevity of remote devices.
ZPE Cloud
ZPE CloudZPE Cloud is a cloud based orchestration platform that unifies infrastructure, network, and IoT device management behind a single pane of glass. Admins get 24/7 remote access to the entire Nodegrid-connected architecture from anywhere in the world without a VPN, providing greater flexibility and reducing hardware overhead.
Plus, you can add-on cloud apps like Nodegrid Data Lake, which provides the ability to analyze data collected from IoT devices. Teams can use Nodegrid Data Lake to move away from the expensive break/fix approach to device management and become more proactive.
