Addressing legacy vulnerabilities
The first step in cybersecurity resilience is proper IT hygiene, starting with the right architecture to eliminate the anxiety associated with automated patching and recovery.
Koroush Saraf, VP of Products and Marketing at ZPE Systems
The Nodegrid Serial Console Core Edition is an affordable third-generation console server that mitigates the vulnerabilities associated with legacy console servers. By implementing a drop-in Isolated Management Infrastructure (IMI), it ensures that management traffic is entirely segregated from production networks, offering physical and logical protection from unauthorised access and cyber threats.
Enhancing AI workload management
ZPE’s new Nodegrid Gate SR platform with the embedded Jetson module provides a dual-CPU platform that utilises IMI for the provisioning of AI workloads via an out-of-band path. This allows organisations to deploy, manage, and upgrade AI workloads remotely, improving safety, security, and quality control in industrial environments.
“These products, with their innovative features, will enable companies to strengthen the protection of their critical IT infrastructure and NVIDIA AI investments against the increasing cyber-attack threats.”

About ZPE
Zero Point Energy (ZPE) refers to the lowest possible energy that a system can possess, and at ZPE Systems, the belief is that secure and reliable access to critical infrastructure consoles should require a management effort as close to zero as possible.
ZPE Systems is composed of a team of technologists with extensive experience in console management, holding over 20 granted patents. The team has been at the forefront of providing serial access to CRAFT interfaces, witnessing the rise of pizza box computing, and pioneering the first Linux-based Break Safe console servers. They have integrated IPMI into servers, developed universal access appliances, and introduced security and compliance features that meet the stringent requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and ITIL.
Frustrated by the limitations of large vendors offering proprietary solutions that struggled to keep pace with change, ZPE Systems created NodeGrid Manager—the world’s first Software Defined Infrastructure for Vendor-Neutral Physical and Virtual Console Access and Control.
