LAS VEGAS, NV, May 3rd, 2016 — ZPE Systems unveiled two new products for resilient IT infrastructure management of IoT and Edge devices at Interop 2016: NodeGrid Bold™ – a compact form factor appliance, and NodeGrid Flex™ – a flexible port configuration appliance. Both products have been perfected to offer secure access and control of IT devices, adding a prompt virtual presence 24/7 at the edge of the network.
Designed by industry veterans, NodeGrid Bold and NodeGrid Flex have a fast, dual-core Intel CPU and built-in 32GB flash integrated with the latest 64-bit Linux OS – a combination that enables lightning-fast response times. These additions to the NodeGrid family are ingenious products that manage IT devices at the edge of the network where strong security and dependable remote access are essential.
“The market was lacking a serious out-of-band solution for devices at the edge of the network,” said Arnaldo Zimmermann, CEO of ZPE Systems. “NodeGrid Bold and NodeGrid Flex solve this problem by minimizing downtime on remote networks.”
