Network Function Virtualization with Nodegrid – Tech Talk Tuesday from ZPE Systems

Todd Atherton (Channel Sales Director) and Marc Westberg (Channel Sales Engineer) walk you through the benefits of #network function virtualization with Nodegrid. Cover the virtualization best practices, requirements, and network considerations in this 20-minute video.

Run a lean, mean stack at the edge
You don’t have to deploy multiple dedicated devices that eat up valuable space and power at the edge. Nodegrid allows you to run applications at the edge, including monitoring, security, and more, all in a 1RU or lighter package.

Automate bringup of device images
Use Nodegrid’s zero touch provisioning capabilities to automatically deploy devices at the edge. Deploy the factory-default Nodegrid box, which then securely connects to the cloud and automatically installs the image.

Gain networking flexibility
Use a wide range of networking options, including passthrough, bridge, and NAT, with plenty of link types like cellular, ethernet, and others to suit your use case.

See how we helped DigiCert consolidate 4 devices into 1, including Palo Alto Networks firewalls in a high-availability configuration, using the Nodegrid Net SR. Watch their testimonial video and download the case study here https://zpesystems.com/digicert-improving-critical-network-infrastructure/

Centralized Fleet Management with Device Clustering – Tech Talk Tuesday from ZPE Systems

Todd Atherton (Channel Sales Director) and Marc Westberg (Channel Sales Engineer) walk you through Nodegrid’s device clustering capabilities that let you get convenient, centralized management of your distributed fleet.

Got a bunch of branch locations? You no longer need to spend so much time managing each individual device at every site. Just deploy Nodegrid Serial Consoles or Services Routers on top of your stack for all the benefits.

Streamline licensing
You don’t have to inflate complexity with individual device licensing. Unify your branches using the Nodegrid clustering license.

Stop juggling spreadsheets
You don’t have to manually track device IPs and login credentials. Connect your entire stack to Nodegrid — regardless of vendor — for point-and-click visibility and management.

Save time and reduce errors
Upgrading individual devices is time-consuming and increases the risk of errors. Nodegrid serves as the cluster coordinator, allowing you to push upgrades across your fleet with the click of a button.

Ready to get started? Check out one of our best-selling branch devices, the Nodegrid Gate SR, and start saving time with device clustering https://zpesystems.com/products/branc…

Exploring ZPE Cloud – Tech Talk Tuesday from ZPE Systems

Todd Atherton (Channel Sales Director) and Marc Westberg (Channel Sales Engineer) walk you through the benefits of using ZPE Cloud. This fleet management solution offers centralized access and control over your global devices, and enables true zero-touch provisioning via #cloud to eliminate the hassle and risk of pre-staging equipment.

Truck rolls, meet centralized fleet management
Use your web browser to gain secure access to ZPE Cloud. The intuitive interface gives you a bird’s-eye view of your global fleet, with point-and-click access to every device. Keep your gear running without rolling trucks.

How do 1-hour deployments sound?
ZPE Cloud stores configuration files. Paired with Nodegrid devices running scripts, you can cut deployment times to 1 hour. Just have non-expert staff connect the cables and boot devices, and Nodegrid automatically pulls config files from ZPE Cloud to set up operations.

No more staging or security risks
ZPE Cloud eliminates the need to pre-stage devices and risk having sensitive info stolen by attackers. Ship factory-default boxes to the site, and zero touch provisioning takes care of the rest. Each device is also authenticated to and from ZPE Cloud, so if anything’s been tampered with, your sensitive data remains safe.

How Many Types of Managed Devices?! – Tech Talk Tuesday from ZPE Systems

Forget everything you know about serial consoles and out-of-band management. Todd Atherton (Channel Sales Director) and Marc Westberg (Channel Sales Engineer) cover the many types of devices you can manage using ZPE Systems’ Nodegrid. You get a versatile and robust platform for centralized management.

Put everything under one management umbrella

2022: A Network Automation Odyssey – ZPE Systems

Based on the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke: Do you want to know what #networkautomation has to do with 2001: A Space Odyssey? Check out our video for details, and head to our webpage to download your copy of the network automation blueprint trusted by 6 of 10 top tech giants: Network Automation Blueprint – ZPE Systems

Network automation is a must-have if you want business to achieve 100% uptime and cybersecurity. But IT is afraid of automating. Why? Because just like HAL 9000 going haywire in the movie, all it takes is for you to make one mistake to send your network spinning out of control.

The good news is ZPE Systems lets you automate safely. Our out-of-band automation platform features an ‘undo’ button that lets you safely revert to golden configs, in the event you make a mistake. And our open platform lets you integrate #cybersecurity solutions from any vendor of your choice, like Cisco SIG, Palo Alto Networks, ThousandEyes, and others.

It sits on top of your existing infrastructure, too. Deploy it easily, start automating, and achieve near 100% uptime like the world’s tech giants!

ZPE Systems apresenta a Gen 3 Out-of-Band (OOB) e Zero Pain Ecosystem

Nesta demonstração, o Engenheiro de Sistemas da ZPE, Douglas Almeida, mostra como o Nodegrid Gate SR (GSR) protege uma empresa de serviços #financeiros, fornecendo um link #LTE protegido, das câmeras de vídeo de borda para o #datacenter da empresa. O GSR usa conectividade serial com o roteador de borda e é gerenciado remotamente via ZPE Cloud.
