Nodegrid Serial Console Plus – Core Edition

Industry-Leading Remote Access and Security On A Budget

Nodegrid Serial Console Plus - Core Edition provides fast, secure, and reliable InBand and Out-of-Band access to server, network, storage, power and other serial console devices for faster problem resolution. The NSCP - Core edition integrates with ZPE Cloud for a vendor-neutral, unified management solution. It establishes a two-way-authenticated connection to ZPE Cloud, which allows you to gain secure remote access from anywhere. For all devices connected to the Core Edition, ZPE Cloud gives centralized access.

Robust Remote Access

The Nodegrid Serial Console Plus – Core Edition is ideal for remote troubleshooting and maintenance. It allows IT admins to remotely access servers, network gear, PDUs, storage, and the entire IT stack. Users can fix or manage equipment at their data centers, colocations, or branch offices with low-level access to the CLI or web interface of any connected vendor devices. IT admins can resolve break-fix scenarios as if they were physically on site.

The Most Secure Solution

Nodegrid is the most secure out-of-band solution available, with holistic hardware and software security and the most third-party certifications. From tightly-controlled manufacturing environments, to a Synopsys-validated codebase and counterfeit prevention processes, we ensure security at every stop in the supply chain. It’s all backed by our responsive engineering team, which patches critical CVEs within 72 hours and pushes several major releases annually.

Simple To Manage

Nodegrid Serial Console Plus – Core Edition establishes a two-way authenticated connection to ZPE Cloud, which allows IT admins to gain secure remote access from anywhere (even the coffee shop). For all devices connected to the Core Edition console server serial ports, ZPE Cloud gives a centralized, bird’s-eye view. There’s no need to juggle spreadsheets filled with IP addresses and locations. Admins can click into target devices and perform the tasks they need. It’s that simple.

 

The Nodegrid Serial Console Plus - Core Edition (NSCP - Core Edition) is a third-generation out-of-band (OOB) solution for data center and co-location provider deployments. It functions as a local Out-Of-Band-Infrastructure Local Area Network (OOBI-LAN) device, providing a dedicated network for management traffic. It enables console access to connected devices such as Rack PDUs or sensors by using RS-232, Ethernet, or USB interfaces. You can deploy the NSCP - Core Edition to establish robust remote access to the IT infrastructure. Additionally, the Nodegrid Serial Console Plus - Core Edition offers connectivity through PSTN, 4G, or 5G modems, ensuring continuous operation even if the local data connection is unavailable, thus enhancing the resilience of the out-of-band solution.
